Kaddish (Sanctification)

Kaddish (Sanctification)

Grasping at the ephemeral, we only invite suffering. True freedom lies in the acceptance of perpetual transformation, and in the understanding that we exist in the liminal space between what has been and what is yet to be;

and say, Amen.

In the face of change, the centered mind remains unperturbed. Waves crash upon the shore, yet the rock stands resolute. Seasons transform the landscape, yet the mountain's peak remains unmoved. So too must we cultivate an unwavering presence, a calm centeredness that transcends the transient;

and say, Amen.

By aligning ourselves with the natural cycles of gain and grief, of growth and decay, we find harmony within the symphony of existence. We let go of the desire to control, to manipulate, to hoard. Instead, we become humble participants in the grand dance, ever-responsive to the shifts and currents that carry us forward;

and say, Amen.

In this way, we discover the peace that lies beyond the turbulence of life - a peace that is not the absence of change, but the acceptance of it. We become vessels through which the universe flows, no longer grasping at what was or fearing what may be, but fully present in the eternal, transient now;

and say, Amen.

So let it be, and so it is.
