Re’eh
it seems we must be high or low,
to blessed be, or cursed,
the middle ground is not for us,
for to be nowhere’s even worse.
should we live our lives avoiding,
focused on the “Thou Shalt Nots”,
or should we, with love, embrace them both,
not rope ourselves in knots.
“kadesh atzmecha b’mutar lach”,
be sanctified in what is permitted,
give them equal zest, that’s what is best,
accomplish both with simcha.
the bracha is to serve HaShem,
with no sadness be alloyed,
the curse, perhaps, ta’aseh or lo,
without a sense of joy.
but someplace in the middle,
we’re neither here nor there,
as if to say, if right or wrong,
i really do not care.
