I am struck by the imagery of the Shekhinah, in particular as summarized in the Introduction. An exiled woman, a disabled refugee, a survivor... she is humiliated, traumatized, and she is with us and will be... "and from the depth of [her] mystery, [she] shares with all who live within [her] sovereignty. [She] yields and retreats, yet touches every living creature. [She] is the eternally effeminate, the displaced and active God in the world." "The Shekhinah represents the place of the psyche as well as God’s active presence everywhere."
