Three lines: thought, speech, action
Three dimensions : height, width, depth
Heh is the dalet with an extra foot
A foot in the door : Presence
Heh the fifth Hebrew letter holds within it
The month of Nisan, the head of all months
New year of Kings, whose Priestess is Maiden,
Youth dancing her drum to the temple
Beating the sound of victory over Winter
Ushering in Spring, reawakening
Autonomy, Liberation, Sovereignty
Hineini begins with a heh and
It means "Here I Am" the answer given
When the Divine asks "Where are you?"
Ideally we answer, "Present. Ready.
Available to do the thing, whatever it is."
We raise our hand to show the five fingers
Heh rules over the Ram of fire-sign Aries
The Ram: an animal in Torah most frequently
Sacrificed to the One and roasted by fire
The Ram: the Egyptian deity Khnum
Whom we slay in the presence of the oppressor
Whose blood we use to paint our doorposts
To spare our own lives as the plagues
Rain down on those around us
The Ram whose burnt body we eat in haste
As we run from our bondage
The Ram whose horn becomes our instrument
Our breath the wind creating sound
Through its hollowness, voicing
The wail of the heartbroken
Heh governs the Liver in our bodies
That heaviest organ, honoring gravitas
The one that discerns and filters out toxicity
Even while we are poisoning ourselves with
Strong drink, telling the story of Exodus
From the narrows, through the sea that split
Retracting as we ran toward the wilderness
The liver is here for us, silently purifying our blood
Heh the foundation of sight where, first, we show up and
Declare our availability for service and, only then,
Are we shown - do we see - the way forward.
The word "light" occurs five times in our creation story
Giving us the illumation with which to perceive
Two of the four letters of the tetragrammaton:
Yud HEH Vav HEH, the Presence of HEH
"Here I Am" appears twice in The Name
Implying: 50% of Divinity is just showing up
