Perle Besserman

Original Language
Hebrew

Jewish

18th Century

Where I wander -- You!
Where I ponder -- You!
Only You everywhere, You, always You.
You, You, You.
When I am gladdened -- You!
And when I am saddened -- You!
Only You, everywhere You!
You, You, You.
Sky is You!
Earth is You!
You above! You below!
In every trend, at every end,
Only You, everywhere You!

Commentary by Ivan M. Granger

A beautiful poem filled with the ecstatic recognition that God is in everything, IS everything...

A chant that can open the heart and eyes:

Only You everywhere, You, always You.
You, You, You.
