May your hands always be busy

May your feet always be swift

May you have a strong foundation

When the winds of changes shift

May your heart always be joyful

May your song always be sung

And may you stay forever young

   - Bob Dylan, from "Forever Young"

My heart's in the east and I languish on the margins

   of the west. How to taste or savor what I eat?

How to fulfill my vows and pledges while Zion

   is shackled to Edom and I am fettered to Arabia?

I'd gladly give up all the luxuries of Spain

   if only to see the dust and rubble of the Shrine.

   - Yehuda Halevi, "My Heart is in the East" (12th Century)

Be ye lamps unto yourselves.

   - Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha)

O God, my God,
I pray that these things never end,
The sand and the sea,
The rush of the water,
The crash of the heavens,
The prayer of humankind.
   - Hannah Senesh
