Counting the Omer with an ancient litany entirely dedicated to the natural world. Perek Shira takes quotes from sacred texts and puts them in the mouths of all of Creation. Sun, Clouds, Grass, Rooster, Frog, . . . each has a voice, an homage, a lesson.

Day 9
The moon is saying: "He made the moon for the festivals; the sun knows the time of its coming.” Psalm 104:19 Perek Shira also has a verse for the sun, but I found it incomprehensible. I guess this is appropriate, since one can't look directly at the sun.
