The Sacrifice of Isaac (or Akedah), as it came to me last night.

Isaac Laughed

by Bowie Snodgrass

First Sarah laughed –
When three angels said
She would bear a son.
Even in my old age?!

Then Isaac laughed,
Going along with his dad,
Sure, we’ll do the sacrifice,
I will journey with you.

So Abraham took him up
The hill to an altar –
When an angel appeared
From God and laughed.

at what point do we say
we’d had enough dianu ?

only when it is already now
too much and we throw our
hands up in the air and say
basta xhvatet enough ! ?

in poker you knock to say
stay at this amount I don’t
need more to stay in this
game I may or may not win

at what point do we turn
around and say to our God
thanks for the blessings
they are truly enough

what do we need to sing
di di anu dianu di a new !

no. 1

TransMission:

an emerging community
a shared religious journey
a New York City adventure
pass along from one to another
emmanuel shalom alleluia amen

no. 2

I believe community starts
with one to one relationships

built over time & with grace

that’s something I learned
over time, with my family
my best girl friends, & God.
