What Will It Take To Learn From Our Journeys?
Torah Portion -Devarim (Deuteronomy 1:1- 16:17)
After almost forty years of journeys,
Just before reaching our destination,
Did the experiences, trials and tribulations
Register as lessons from judgment errors?
A new generation arose, prepared
To enter the Promised Land under Joshua,
As Moses relates past events to teach
Who we could be rather than what we were.
A moral compass is drawn as a map
For the soul from all previous sojourns.
It awaits the station of life’s decisions;
And the Divine Conscience sits in judgment.
The destination is not a guarantee
But bestowed on condition justice is pursued.
