Our tribe contains tribes.
Tribes forged by circumstance and cemented by our own choosing.
Ā
Prophets who once bowed before idols.
And artists who rebuked even prophets.
Ā
Monarchs who kept guard over a land.
And a People made humble by the wilderness.
Ā
However you belong.
However you came to be.
Know that you, too, are numerous as the stars of heaven.Ā
Ā
And that whether you are hard as rock, soft as psalms
Or even as mysterious as a basket in the bulrushes
Ā
Your arc reveals our covenant.
