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.

Counting 48
It’s a test, all
of it, you will be tested daily. Today a test, tomorrow a test, each day a quiz
and if you fail it today you can make it tomorrow. Go home and take tomorrow
fresh. Do-over, every day new. That’s not a blessing?
