Chuck Burack's Shofarot Meditation
Original writing from the HH : Part 2
Shofarot: A Meditation
The sound of the shofar
is the ache of yearning
The sound of the shofar
is the blare of warnin
The primal blast provokes
awakening
The primal cry evokes
weeping
The horn of pride and power
is transformed into the trumpet
of love and humility
The horn of war and conquest
is transmuted into an instrument
of inner peace
From the narrow places
I called out to YaH
The Compassionate One
answered me
from the supernal expanse
Return, return to the Source
of your life
Return, return to the Spring
of your light
The piercing tekiyah penetrates
the armor of the ego
The stuttering shevarim shatters
the veils of the soul
The wailing teruah releases
the wells of the heart
Let the living spirit of God
blow through and heal your body
Let the living spirit of Goddess
flow through and clear your mind
Hear the voice that makes thunder
and lightning and rain
Hear the voice that showers the world
with wisdom and compassion
Today is the day of discernment
Today is the day of attunement
Rejoice, rejoice
with laughter and tears
Rejoice, rejoice
in the miracle of this new year
-Charles Burack, Ph.D.
