What pleases our God?

Deflating Egypt's stronghold
Yet God everywhere

Raised hands of blessings
Belie joy turning deadly
Brothers in crisis

Of degraded conditions
Ritually cured

Within commandments
Woven in everyday acts
One finds holiness

Proscribed dates and times
Cycles and circles of life
Commemorated

How many harvests you have.
Then rest, Holy Land
