We dance round in a circle and suppose
But the secret sits in the middle and knows.
Robert Frost
B ray sheet
In the very beginning
Tow who and bo who
Grainy nuclei, swirling
The strings become a sphere
Unfolding to an orb
Unified forces cut space into fields
That center and enfold a point.
Peace is made between fiery angels
and the angels of the essence
and in this harmony
matter comes to be.
So, I ask you, taught reader, who is the Kabballahist who wrote the above speculation on the nature of creation; and all that it contains? (Everything).
Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai?
Rabbi Moses Son of Nahmun M.D.?
The Lion Luria?
Rabbi Chiam the Vital?
First, the interpretation:
B ray sheet
In the very beginning
Tow who and bo who
The Flour
Grainy nuclei, swirling
The strings become a sphere
Unfolding to an orb
The dough is rolled out
Unified forces cut space into fields
That center and enfold a point.
Diamond shaped pieces of dough are cut and stuffed with meat.
Peace is made between fiery angels
and the angels of the essence.
The water in the pot is brought to a boil and kreplach placed therein.
and in this harmony
our matter comes to be.
Perfect Kreplach. ( Ravioli, or God forbid, wan ton.)
