Tell Me: Hagida li

Hagida li she’ahavah nafshi

Tell me, my only love… (Song of Songs 1:7)

In this practice, we open a conversation with the Beloved, asking the One we love to respond with Presence, guidance, and intimacy. By chanting these words, we are turning towards the Great Mystery. The answers may come through the silence in the stirrings of the heart or through the portents and wonders of this world. And then we must listen, and open the inner eyes to see. And then we must follow the signs and the glimpses we are given.
