Written During Chaim Dovid Concert

"How awesome this place
No less than the house of G-d
And I did not know"

How do you let go?
Please G-d teach me to let go
I ask, want, to know

Nafsheinu chiktah
What exactly does that mean?
Some form of waiting
An endless, timeless waiting
Souls simply waiting for G-d

Thanks Pesach.

Thanks fann - that first haiku was written while Chaim Dovid was singing the song about Yaakov's dream and how Yaakov realizes that the place is holy, the house of G-d, and he hadn't known...
