Readings for the Sheva B'rachot
Our goal should be to live life in a radical amazement… to get up in the morning and look up at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.
– Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.
– Ursula Le Guin
Listen. To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know.
– Barbara Kingsolver
Love does not consists of gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
In the flush of love's light,
we dare be brave,
And suddenly we see,
that love costs all we acquire
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love,
which sets us free.
– Maya Angelou
Let the vow of this day keep itself wildly and wholly
Spoken and silent, surprise you inside your ears
Sleeping and waking, unfold itself inside your eyes
Let its fierceness and tenderness hold you
Let its vastness be undisguised in all your days
– Jane Hirshfield
Blessed be joy and gladness, lover and beloved, mirth, glad song, pleasure, delight, love, celebration, friendship, peace and companionship. Let us soon hear in the streets of the cities and the paths of the fields the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the voice of the lover and the voice of the beloved, the cheers of the couple from their canopy and of the youths from their song-filled feasts. Blessed is the gladness of the couple, rejoicing together.
– Free translation of the Hebrew blessing
