OK the book then moves
into the spiritual quest

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.720 align:middle line:90%
that accompanies all of this.

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:29.280 align:middle line:84%
And we go back to the Shekinah,
that sacred feminine being.

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.520 align:middle line:90%
Prayer to the Shekinah.

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:39.000 align:middle line:84%
In my prayers, night and day, is
the hope that you will visit me,

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.960 align:middle line:84%
which possibly you
have been doing

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.440 align:middle line:90%
all the while inside my skin.

00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:48.720 align:middle line:84%
Producing hymnodies of
birth, of lamentation.

00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:52.400 align:middle line:84%
Lifted from every mass
grave in the world.

00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:56.160 align:middle line:84%
Scratching me, pinching
me from inside.

00:00:56.160 --> 00:00:58.800 align:middle line:84%
Calling me an idiot
since I do not

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:03.940 align:middle line:84%
know how to reach you by myself
in the carapace of this body,

00:01:03.940 --> 00:01:08.000 align:middle line:84%
struggling like the turtle
to move as fast as I can

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.800 align:middle line:84%
and not get run over
crossing the street.

00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:14.160 align:middle line:90%
You at a distance, beloved.

00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:16.360 align:middle line:90%
My mother, my daughter.

00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:17.580 align:middle line:90%
You at a distance.

00:01:17.580 --> 00:01:20.560 align:middle line:84%
My soul, who remains
at a distance.

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:26.200 align:middle line:84%
They say you will travel to
meet me if I travel to meet you.

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.440 align:middle line:90%
Pity I am so slow.

00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:33.160 align:middle line:84%
But I'm grateful for the
handful of past moments you have

00:01:33.160 --> 00:01:37.200 align:middle line:90%
spoken to me, spoken with me.

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.520 align:middle line:84%
The fool who hoped to be
counted among the poets,

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:47.470 align:middle line:84%
weeping along the
path to her own soul.

00:01:47.470 --> 00:01:51.000 align:middle line:90%
