2. Standing Meditation

Gevurot
God’s strength: giver of life to everything


even the people who make you uncomfortable
even the wild turkeys that gather on lawns
even the insects that sting
even those people who get under your skin
they all are God’s creatures
even the animals and fish that are extinct
even the sponge and the coral
and the octopus, anteater, and two toed sloth
—all God’s creatures
