My God and my Lord:

Eyes are at rest, the stars are setting. Hushed are the movements of birds in their nests, of monsters in the sea; and You are the Just Who knows no change; the Equity that does not swerve, the everlasting that never passes away. The doors of kings are locked now and guarded by their henchmen, but your door is open to all who call upon You. My Lord, each lover is now alone with his beloved. And I am alone with Thee.

There Is No Place Like Home



In the beginning, there was a man,
but he was lonely.
And Heavenly Father placed mankind with him,
but they were still lonely.
And Heavenly Father gave them animals of all kind,
but they were still lonely.
So, Heavenly Father placed blooms
of all colors around them,
but, they were still lonely.
All the delights of this earth did not
satisfy their loneliness and longing,
And, the Stars appeared in the dark sky one by one,
pointing the direction to their home and
to the divine source.

And at last they were allowed to return home.
