Me’olam ad olam Atah Eyl
From world to world You are God. (Psalm 90:2)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 90 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]
We are always moving from world to world. I walk into a convenience store and I’m in a hurry to buy something I need. The lighting is harsh; everyone around me is also in a hurry; the cashier is harried. Can I smile and remember that God is here too? I get in the car to drive away, and I am stuck in traffic. I look around with compassion at the faces of all the other drivers; I notice the beautiful trees by the side of the road. Can I remember that God is here too? From world to world I am challenged to address God everywhere.
This is a way of moving through all the worlds, that guides me towards the necessity for the continuity of practice. My eyes are opened to miracle. Wherever I look, YOU are there!
