Blessing for Rosh Chodesh Adar (2016)

May we be the poppy seeds in each other's hamentaschen
this year

May the world be sweet to the taste
  soft to the touch
    moonlight to the eyes
      and redemption to the soul

May we design contests for all of us to win together
may we design beauty contests to which each moment
  is a contender

May we all be blessed with cousins
  who would fast on our account

May we recognize that we too are Esther
  we are Mordecai
and also we are Ahashverosh

May we keep remembering to forget to remember

May all of us appear at the banquet of our lives
  wearing the crown of our royalty
and whatever the hell else we choose
