Hashiveinu

Return us to ourselves

Return us to each other

Return us to the earth

Return us to our Land: the land beneath our feet

Return us to This Moment

Return us to our knowing

  remembering that we know

Return us to our rhythms

Return us to our drums

Return us to sleep in the middle of the night

Return us to our deepest desires

  our shared loves

  our clear visions

Return us to our bodies

  to our breath

  to breathing easily

Return us to knowing

  how beautiful we are

Return us to ourselves

Return us to each other

Return us to our good questions

  our bare feet

  our brilliant minds

  our singing voices

Return us to falling in love

  with ourselves

    and each other

Return us to our Shrines

  and to our shrine-keeping

Return us to our places of peacemaking

Return us to trusting each other

  and ourselves

Return us

  turn us

    and we will dance and be held

and behold that we are whole

and be in harmony with You

Return us

  keep turning us

for everything is within us

for Torah will keep coming out of us

for sweetness is

  within us

and longs to return to You
