Day 47
We can understand how Hod, the s’firah of splendor, influences Malkhut/Sh’khinah in the magnificent variety of ways the Source of all reality is apparent in our lives. Any ancient Jewish sources recognize the validity of this diversity in Torah interpretation. The Mishnah (Pirkei Avot 5:22) says: “Ben Bag Bag said: ‘Turn it over and again turn it over, for all is within.” Today we remember that multiple interpretations are important, that minority opinions need to be recorded and that anything can be viewed though a variety of lenses (Counting the Omer: A Kabbalistic Meditation Guide, p.223).
Day 48
The best foundations are not rigid, but are designed to deal with changing soil and weather conditions. If rain is a hurricane, will the roof remain attached? If there are severe winds, how much will building sway? The same questions apply to people. For both structures and people, the answers are the same: those with the capacity to adapt to changing circumstances are most successful…
…When we cultivate a flexible foundation our goals are more attainable (Counting the Omer: A Kabbalistic Meditation Guide, pp.226-227).
