Dear friends,
Dayanu is a song that is part of the Jewish holiday of Passover.
The song goes back a thousand years and it refers to the gifts of God and expresses the idea that if any of these gifts had been stopped or if the series of gifts had been stopped at any time,
We still would have been given enough.
In this meditation I have a new version of this ancient song for you.
If I had been brought into this existence,
But not onto such a beautiful planet,
It would have been enough.
If I had been brought onto this beautiful planet,
But not given sight of the moon and stars,
It would have been enough.
If I had been given sight of the moon and the stars,
But not the galaxy,
It would have been enough.
If I had been given sight of this galaxy,
But no knowledge of the countless numbers of galaxies that do exist,
It would have been enough.
How much more then must I be grateful for all that has been given to me?
Words fail me when it comes to giving sufficient thanks.
But it helps to recall the words of Maestro Eckhart,
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you,
It will be enough.
So I pause to give thanks,
To express gratitude and wonder for all existence,
For my existence.
How can this be?
Thank you.
Namaste.
