Ascending

Ascending

Beyond
A lone
Human 
Being


I voice
Millions
Of shared
Feelings

And sing
Among 
The dead 
And living

New songs
Created
In the
Beginning.

Nachshon (Sétimo dia de Pessach)

As vezes me sinto só
E não vejo solução
São nesses momentos então
Que sei que são passageiros
Que abraço o mundo inteiro
E nos lanço com as mãos
a D'us.

In Order to Teach

And here
I thought
That I
Had found it.

And that
My balance
Had been 
Reached.

The offer
Came and
I sure 
Took it.

To pray
And study,
Work and ...
Teach.

And now
I see
How much
I've grinded

And how
My energy
Has 
Peaked.

I long
To fit
In every
Part of me.

In every
Day and
Every
Week.

I must
Admit
I've thought
Of quitting

But then
A voice
Keeps me
Upbeat.

Keeping
It up
Will not
Be easy

Yet the
Reward
Is worth
The risk.

Life of Pi



Life of Pi

I live along
A narrow bridge
A tightrope of sorts
In which I try to balance

Twenty-two letters
Constantly on my mind
And seven lights
Burning from my heart

Cycles of weeks
Three followed by sevens
Followed by three
From mourning to morning

It's an uphill battle
A long but short way
With area and circumference
Both great and small

That curves around
A radius defined
By how much I am
Willing to give

And yet the entire circle
Is still not more than zero
But if it touches yours
It's Infinite. 





OBS: The period from 17th of Tammuz to the 9th of Av is known as the 3 Weeks (although it has 22 days). It is a period of mourning followed by seven weeks of consolation. The seven weeks of the Omer is also a period mourning, and both the three weeks and the seven weeks will be times of joy in the future. The seven weeks is connected to the seven emotional sefirot, and the three weeks appear to be connected to the twenty-two Hebrew letters. The reading for the 9th of Av, Lamentations, is in acrostic form, with each chapter having a verse for each letter (chapter 3 has three for each),

The number Pi is almost exactly the ratio of twenty-two divided by seven. Area is defined as Pi (22/7) x the Square of the Radius, and the Circumference is 2 x Pi (22/7) x Radius.
