Silent guardian of the sacred spring.Bearer of tea and slippers in the hamam.
Wise mother at our daughters' first mikvah.
Emerging today from your own dry desert baptism,
Your gift shines forth once again.
Gathering under your protecting gaze and open heart, We are ready to fill our cups with the gifts of the Beloved.
Bettina Madini, "Dreaming Willow" (1997)
