Opening the Heart
by Marcia Falk
At the year's turn,
in the days between,
we step away
from what we know
into the spaces
we cannot yet name.
Slowly the edges
begin to yield,
the hard places
soften,
the gate to forgiveness
opens.
from The Days Between: Blessings, Poems, and Directions of the Heart for the Jewish High Holiday Season (Waltham, MA: 2014), p. vii.
