Omer Day 42 מלכות שביסוד Malchut SheBiYsod

Actualization. Shekhina. Majesty. Sovereignty. Selfitude. Reality within Connection. Foundation. Creation. Grounding. Roots.

1) “Do these things,” she said. “Build a Foundation, and you will recover your truest Self.” So much I didn’t understand. I didn’t quite believe. But what was I to do? Anything was better that what I had been doing. What can I say? She was right.

2) Shekhina, I know I’ve told You this before, but I don’t remind repeating myself. Your Majestic Presence fills me in times of true Connection. May i remember how many ways there are to Connect!

3) So still she stood, like a mountain. But there was nothing still about the river of song that flowed forth. No, not song. Out of the mouth of the mountain poured Actualized spirit.

Today may your best Reality grow forth from your Roots. May you be fully Actualized through Connection, Divine and Human.

Shavua tov.
