Ozi v’zimrat Yah. Vayhi Li’yeshua
G’vurot:
YOU ARE FOREVER MIGHTY, Adonai; You give life to all (revive the dead).
*Winter—You cause the wind to shift and rain to fall.
*Summer —You rain dew upon us.
You sustain life through love, giving life to all (reviving the dead) through great
compassion, supporting the fallen, healing the sick, freeing the captive, keeping faith
with those who sleep in the dust.
Who is like You, Source of mighty acts? Who
resembles You, a Sovereign who takes and gives life, causing deliverance to spring up
and faithfully giving life to all (reviving that which is dead)?
Shabbat shuvah — Who is like You, Compassionate God,
who mercifully remembers Your creatures for life?
Blessed are You, Adonai, who gives life to all (revives the dead).

Ezekiel 37:5:
Thus says the Lord G-d to these bones: Behold I will breathe into you, and you will come to life.
Translation of the End of Yigdal
By the End of Days G-d will send our Messiah – to redeem those longing for G-d’s final salvation;
God will revive the dead in abundant kindness – Blessed forever is the praised Name.
Threatened by Resurrection:
They have threatened us with Resurrection
There is something here within us
which doesn’t let us sleep, which doesn’t let us rest,
which doesn’t stop the pounding deep inside.
It is the silent, warm weeping of women without their husbands
it is the sad gaze of children fixed there beyond memory . . .
What keeps us from sleeping
is that they have threatened us with resurrection!
Because at each nightfall
though exhausted from the endless inventory
of killings for years,
we continue to love life,
and do not accept their death!
In this marathon of hope
there are always others to relieve us
in bearing the courage necessary . . .
Accompany us then on this vigil
and you will know what it is to dream!
You will know then how marvelous it is
to live threatened with resurrection!
To live while dying
and to already know oneself resurrected.

Parker Palmer said in the Active Life:
For Esquivel, there is no resurrection of isolated individuals. She is simply not concerned about private resurrections, yours or mine or her own. Each of us is resurrected only as we enter into the network of relationships called community, a network that embraces not only living persons but people who have died, and nonhuman creatures as well. Resurrection has personal significance – if we understand the person as a communal being – but it is above all a corporate, social and political event, an event in which justice and truth and love come to fruition.

What a great point of view. In my art, I am always connecting with the Divine thru the sense of timelessness – we are all of one time- albeit in different entities. We were, we are, we will be is all wrapped up in that sense of “no time and all time”.
