Days of Awe
May we remember
In the days of awe
What we couldn’t have known
Yet living on inside us
Ancestors, guides, teachers
Loving into the Book of Life
From time immemorial
May we hear
In the days of awe
What we have forgotten to listen
the still small voice
within our hearts
Made louder with our prayers—
Our atonement
Our repentance
Our forgiveness
Our acceptance
Our charity
May we return
In the days of awe
What we deeply, truly seek
Our North Star
Pointing us toward
Our purpose, Our meaning—
Our loving into the Book of life
Our commitment to becoming
The ancestors, guides, teachers
For all the generations to come
May we release
In the days of awe
To remember again
We are of ONE
One Book of Life
**inspired by the Jewish faith tradition, honoring days of awe from rosh shashana to day of atonement, Yom Kippur
