Today is Hod she b'Tiferet - a day of humility in a week of compassion.
Walking the streets of my neighborhood
I feel the flow of the land beneath my feet
even through the concrete.
I imagine the bare green hills
before the houses were built.
Yesterday a soft drizzle;
today a crisp wind in my face.
These elements feel unsullied.
On this Earth Day
I take these as humble reminders
of my place in this world.
We need to remember
to treat all that lives around us
with compassion and respect.
