All the Time
© Rabbi Menachem Creditor
Sad all the time.
Happy all the time.
Both true
in moments pervaded by
unfulfillable purpose.
excruciating ecstatic,
essential out-of-reach,
intoxicating with exhausting intensity...
...that's what purpose feels like.
If you choose to be drawn,
deeper and deeper
into sacred service,
your life will be
sadder and happier.
All the time.
