Note - I wrote this reading keeping in mind that it’s Brian Wilson’s 82nd birthday today and two days ago was Paul McCartney’s 82nd birthday.
I thought a reading on the power of lyrics and melody was in order.

The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah

Eternal Creator,
Our inspiration for prayer and song,
May the meditations we intone
Guide us along on the waves of our emotions
May they fashion our streams of thought
Into sincere action.
May our melodies bring to this world
Greater light
Deeper understanding
Pleasing harmonies
And stronger communal connection.
May each note embody a portion of the
Total essence of Your teachings
That leads us to knowledge
And that enables us to open our eyes
And to focus our listening
To the sounds of Your Oneness
That is the foundation of our existence.
May our united voices
From a distance or in a shared space
Allow holiness and peace to enter
and find a home
In this world where we dwell
And in our lives
where we continue to seek love and hope.
