Can't You See I'm Burnin', Burnin'

My favorite thing about the burning bush is that it wasn't so much the revelation that was the main thing about it, but rather, Moshe Rabbeinu deciding to check it out. "And Elokim saw that he (Moshe) moved to look, and Elokim called out to him: Moshe, Moshe (3:4)!" Rashi says - to explain Moshe's thoughts - "I'll move from here, to get close to there." In the Midrash Rabba 2:6, R. Yochanan sees in Moshe a movement to get closer to the bush. Meanwhile, the more worldly Reish Lakish, says that Moshe merely turned his head to look, instead of moving towards it, which might take away from his job as a shepherd for Yitro. R. Yitzchak has an entirely different approach. What Elokim saw was that Moshe moved from his place of royalty (in Pharoah's home) to see the distress of his people. All three are all about sensitivity - be it to a spiritual opportunity that G-d gives us, or to responsibilities to people that we have a relationship with, or to people who are suffering. And even more than sensitivity - it's about initiative as a result of that sensitivity. As Rashi says, and I think that he speaks for all three approaches, "I will move from here to get close to there." It is through doing this that we can hear Elokim tell us what we're here to do, our own burning bushes.
