Windy day on the seashore, pull the flaps of your hats over your ears, waves coming in full blast, as if they want to say something to us, to expect something out of the ordinary--they are saying "Shabbat is coming tonight! Shabbat Shalom to you!"
The waves of the sea look bluer than usual, higher they grow, further along the shoreline do they pour, jostling more sand around than usual, an omen, a restful Shabbat is in the coming, we can all rejoice! Splash in our mikvah, swim in the waters, the pure natural waters, coat the body with purity.
Awaiting, approaching, a sunset is coming near us, it is soon to be, in the near future, it is predictable, always happens, it is faithful, we can count on it, a sunset on Shabbat will bring us holiness where there is none, it will bring us what we need. Shabbat is on its way!
Sing loudly! Chant deeper, speak more Hebrew, cast our eyes upon the blue skies, and cherish what we have, cherish that we soon will have more than what we have, we will have Shabbat! It is in the plan, in the works, every week, without fail.
We will all win a restful day, a delightful holy day dedicated to resting, to celebrating, a day when we can be with G-d in His fullest!
