Vayasem midbarah k’eden, v’arvatah k’gan Adonai
He transforms her wilderness into Delight,
her wasteland into a Divine Garden. (Isaiah 51:3)
With this practice, I acknowledge and celebrate the miracle of transformation. Each time I have experienced devastation, it feels as if even the possibility of Redemption is a cruel illusion. And then I find myself in Eden, surrounded by beauty, held in God’s loving embrace.
