Omer Day 30 גבורה שבהוד Gevurah SheBeHod

Boundaries. Strength. Structure. Power. Might. Withholding within Receptivity. Glory. Humility. Wow! Peak. Vertical. Space. Gratitude.

1) My cup runneth over! And it is too much to bear. Unchecked, even Glory can take its toll. I let it spill into a container of Gratitude, which can hold it all.

2) How I long to see your face, take in all of you. But it is ill advised. The Boundaries of the times point to new pathways into the Glory of humanity.

3) Within the Space that I open when I am willing to see myself as I really am, I find the Power to live a life of sane and happy usefulness.

Today, may you find the Glory in Structure. May the Spaciousness of your open heart Empower you.
