To All the Mirrored Doors of Beginning, a Journey Ending

In her ninety-sixth year, Ruth Rifka still finds herself searching out and advocating for ultimate truths. To All the Mirrored Doors of Beginning . . . A Journey Ending spans the beginnings of the Ukraine/Russia war and the first seven months of the Israel/Hamas war. It is a journey of seeking and forming a Weltanschauung, a facing down of one's mortality, while preoccupied with the realities of war and navigating the stress of facing down and coming to terms with the imminent demise of a husband in palliative care. In the writing process, the poems become sustaining prayers for peace, guidance, expressions of humbling gratitude, and parting blessings for the reader.
