As often as you can, take a trip |
What does this mean to me? |
| The Jewish people were released from Egyptian bondage in the springtime; a gift that the Psalmist described as G-d, “…bringing the imprisoned out at a time that is best suited…” In Song of Songs we likewise hear that the time of redemption was a springtime of sudden growth, new life, fresh blossoming. Physical reality is a reflection of spiritual reality, and when the earth is liberated from its winter bondage, it is a sign that spiritual liberation is in the air. Rebbe Nachman taught that praying in the fields is most powerful when the growing things are in their first burst of growth out of dormancy. Everything that exists—inanimate, vegetative, animal and human—wants always, at its essence, to devote the vitality that sustains it to the service of the Creator. When the human being goes out to the field to pray and can almost feel the world around him thrumming with life and longing for G-d, it stirs his own soul. Together, they make the most harmonious music before the Creator. |
A prayer: |
Master of the universe, let me seclude myself in meditation and prayer every day, going out to the fields to meditate, among the trees and grass, pouring out my heart in prayer. For all the leaves and grass, all the trees and plants, will stir themselves to greet me; they will rise to imbue my words and prayers with their energy and life force… They will combine all their spiritual power and bring my words up to their supernal Source….
