Joining Hands

So here's the short of it, 
Tonight at temple there was a prayer that really touched me. 

And here's the long

Standing on the parted shores of history
We still believe what we were taught
Before ever we stood at Sinai's foot;

That wherever we go, it is eternally Egypt
That there is a better place, a promised land;
That the winding way to that promise
Passes through the wilderness.

That there is no way to get from here to there
Except by joining hands, marching together.

Thank you for joining hands with me during this time I've spent in the wilderness.
