about

It’s been said that the creative process is an effort at achieving something higher than our ordinary human existence. Some years ago, I developed writer’s block while striving to get closer to my Jewish identity. Reading the words of the old sages brought me through that dark time. Now, I try hard to be like them, though I know I never can. But, hopefully, my own words will touch others, as the sages’ words touched me – even if on a smaller scale.

lyrics

Make Me a Sage

Heaven help make me a sage open my mind to the words on the page
Let them sink into my soul fill up my heart until I am whole

The ways of the world are so far from me the more I analyze them the more I see
I’m praying to the light of all the ages fill me with the wisdom of the sages

Heaven help me to see through give me the eyes to see what is true
Help me get out of this ignorant cage fill me with light make me a sage

The ways of the world are so far from me the more I analyze them the more I see
I’m praying to the rock of all the ages fill me with the wisdom of the sages

When I was just a youth I was in the dark, you took me to the truth
Here I am full of desire heaven help me I want to go higher

The ways of the world are so far from me the more I analyze them the more I see
I’m praying to the rock of all the ages I’m praying to the rock of all the ages fill me with wisdom… fill me with the wisdom of the sages
