The Hiding.And this month invites us in,To search the hidden.Into the chaos, upside down, teetering on edgeOf moments,With miracles.Where there is oppression and suppression,Joy is an act of resistance.This is Defiant Joy.We face reality, collective pain, and injusticeand we find the hidden sparks of Joy. We raise them up.Marbim B’Simcha.This is the Joy of Purim. A healing Joy. A liberating joythat faces all of the darkness,And invites it to the feast to wine and dine and shapeshift,A joy that helps us to hope and imagine what is to come.That the sea will split so bring your timbrelsUntil we forget to remember until we do not know.The difference, Our humanness, we come from the darknessOf the womb(The tomb is the same gematria As The Womb)Nahafochu - new futures can emergeMordechai asks Queen Esther,Mi yodea im la'et kazot higa'at la'malchut?who knows, if FOR THIS MOMENT, you became queen.You arrived at this palace.To each of us, Perhaps it is for this moment, That we are alive.This is your invitation, your opening, your choice.Plant seeds, resist, bless, care.Let us Rise to the responsibility of this time,Let us cocreate, heal, transform,Through Joy.Dear Queen,la'et kazot higa'at la'malchut.For this moment, you arrived.
