Come, my lover, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the henna bushes. Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom— there I will give you my love. The mandrakes send out their fragrance, and at our door is every delicacy, both new and old, that I have stored up for you, my lover. (Song of Songs 7: 10-13)

Let us rise early to consider the budding - parach - sprouting, breaking out, sending forth.

Let us rise early to see the opening - pathach - loosening, freeing, the opening of oneself.

Let us rise early to check the blooming - natsats - shining, sparkling, gleaming.

Let us rise early - shakam - to allow love to do its work.

What is true love? We can know it from its fruits: parach, pathach, and natsats.
