I would almost think that I wrote my poem today after reading your words here, but no. Though I might have been even more inspired to write my poem if I had read your words first. The world is in need of healing. Thank you for sharing.

So excellent Mankh to bring your intelligence to such a fraught subject. Sinking into the earth we find a firmament that is beyond/before all religion, true wisdom to hold us.

Big thanks, Sabrina! As you most likely know from writing, it's super nice when someone 'gets it.'

A moving and educational read. As someone who has Jewish roots, thanks for this lesson. I am crying for what has become of this world.

Glad you appreciated as such! And the "crying" can be part of the emotional process for "healing/repairing the world".
