Tazria תַזְרִיעַ

She bears seed
in parashat Tazria
like a tree with branches
hugging the idea of a seed
the seed becomes a reality
a potential in the physical
that grows into the sunshine
weathers storms
nourished by water and earth
reaches out her branches
embracing once again
to the idea of seeds
from which unique trees sprout

―Leviticus 12:1–13:59
