Give ear, O heavens and earth I open my ear and my heart before You Not to flee the world Not to lock You inside it So Your teaching comes down and is heard in a human mouth Teach me to see what was, what is, what will be And to stand in the space between Without falsehood, without despair Truth in my hearing Discernment in my mind Words that neither flatter nor crush Receive first, then speak Gift and responsibility as one Return me — not as a mood But as movement: shuvah From what I left to what I still owe From what I have been to what You call me to become A faithful channel from heaven to earth From the inner teaching to the plain sense Amen
