#BlogElul 5: "Know"

Days pass and the years vanish, and we walk sightless among miracles. God, fill our eyes with seeing our our minds with knowing; let there be moments when Your Presence, like lightning, illumines the darkness in which we walk. Help us to see, wherever we gaze, that the bush burns unconsumed...
How filled with awe is this place, and we did not know it.
(adapted from Mishkan T'filah)

There are few, if any, things in life that we truly come to know with certainty. Luckily, among those is the sense of completeness provided by perhaps even just a few others in our lives - even if just in those precious moments that we too often take for granted. 

For Elul 5:

Know - Boy home from camp, household whole.
