Omer Day 24 תפארת שבנצח Tiferet SheBeNetzach

Compassion. Beauty Splendor. Heart. Balance. Equanimity. Harmony within Eternity. Victory. Endurance. Day-to-Day. Long Haul.

1) Nothing like a glimpse of Eternity to bring perspective. Nothing like a dose of perspective to open the Heart.

2) During the liminal times, the highway is a time machine hurtling travelers endlessly through space and time. The stages of Spring blossom into full Splendor before my eyes. A real-life time lapse movie, perpetually unfolding.

3) To contemplate: to give a long, loving look. The longer I look at you Day-to-Day, really watch, the more Beautiful you become.

Today, may Compassion arise from longevity. May your Day-to-Day reveal the Beauty of accustomed things. May you find Balance in the expanses of the Eternal.
