I Will Protect You
The Slaying of the Beast
Who out there is likened unto your face?
Glowing like fire in the vastness of space.
Who out there is like you in the darkness of night?
Still, seeing all with your magnificent sight?
My name is Micheal, Who is like God?
Who out from the Shadows the light he did prod.
From the ashes of nothing, something was formed,
Yet what was its shape? Swirling and churned.
Only a gasp in the vacuum of space,
Without a name, being, or face.
What can you call this abominable golem?
Was it a Djinn, or even more solemn?
Formless you were before the master's hand,
Did take you and shape you forever to stand.
Why did you turn to the darkness of night?
Why do you strive and fight with the light?
Let us, the angels, on our wings bear your souls,
Up from the darkness of underground Sheol.

What if no birth happens?
To remember that our collective human experience is woven into the fabric of a vast and intricate tapestry. Reflecting on the universal phenomenon of birthdays, we find ourselves confronted with the humbling reality of our existence. Despite the individual significance we attach to our special day, the sheer volume of births occurring globally serves as a reminder of our shared humanity. On any given day, hundreds of thousands of babies enter the world, each one adding to the tapestry of human history.
