The Covenant of Creation

In my womb You formed the child,
    in my womb I nourished it.
You formed and numbered the baby's limbs,
    I contained and protected them.
You who could see the child in my depths,
    I who felt the kicks and turns,
Together we counted the months.
    Together we planned the future.
Flish of my Flesh.
form of Your form.
Another human being upon the earth,
a home for God in this, our world.

The Community is dedicated to a celebration of all life and peace through study, meditation, and action and seeks to engage in the spiritual practice of dialogue and conversation. Evening visits to temples and synagogues in addition to Sunday gatherings are proposed for the spring.
