Poet Beth "Batyah" Elishevah Ginzberg expresses her creative poetic meditations about water as a very powerful atmospheric element of the environment. Ginzberg wrote these poems at the East Rogers Park Lake Michigan Beaches, on-the-spot, to experientially convey the full effect of the Great Lakes of Chicago, IL USA for your reading pleasure.

LIONS IN LOVE



Point just an index finger into moving waters [not still waters] and derive a cleanness a pureness of heart, a heart that protects itself, not a heart that is hung out dangling on a limb, a heart that knows who to love and when, and when not to. 

Can you say "I love you?" Can you say "sweetie, honey, sweet heart, wonderful, dearest?" "I love you very much!" Why not? The Torah tells us to have affection for each other. Love? Yes, love is not a dirty word. 4-letters yes, but not a swear word. If you feel this word love is tainted, [a word of romance] then instead say "affection, empathy, sympathy, mercy, lovingkindness, truth, wonderment, attachment, sincerity, desire, passion".

Feel better? Not hung out dry on a limb in a relationship of unrequited "love"?

So, does Mick Jagger help us to feel a strong powerful mightiness, and The Beatles? Bob Dylan. Joan Baez? Carol King. 

Go for it! Feel their strength as they sing as if to sing only to you in a personal one-to-one love song, for you only, individually. As they sing this beautiful singing causes joyousness, a feeling of rejoicing.

An alertness, a sounding like that of a Shofar [ram's horn]. Can you blow a Shofar? A Shofar can be blown by a woman for other women. A Rebbitzen? [Rabbi's wife?] Woman Rabbi? Yes!

The power of a great lion roaring mouth open wide as he protects his lionesses. A kosher meat ram sacrificed by Abraham instead of a human, not to murder his son Isaac. Angels who came down from heaven to redirect Abraham to save his son's life. To eat a good nutritious healthy meal of lamb chops instead.

Righteousness, goodness, greatness. To life! [not death] L' Chaim!
