The inherited liturgy for Tisha B’Av is Eicha (aka Lamentations). These are texts of pain, frustration, and healing. This is my addition to the text, inspired by the work of Octavia Butler.
Again and Again
May we honor what and who was lost.
May we let go of what must be released.
May we find the courage to begin again,
and again,
and again,
and again,
and again,
and again,
and again.
G!d/dess is Change.
What was, is not what will be.
What may be, is not defined by what was.
All that lives changes.
G!d/ess is Change.
~Ketzirah haMa’agelet
