Beneath a cherry tree full of blossoms.
Week 1-/Chesed (LOVE)-Day 3/Tiferet (BEAUTY)
“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh-―

Beauty comes in many packages one of which is hope. We hope those we love have a beautiful life. I wish this for each soul. My teacher Thay was released from the rehabilitation clinic to return to the Hermitage at Plum Village. He arrived in time to enjoy the magnolia blossoms and the first spring leaves. Neither the magnolia blossoms in Plum Village nor the cherry tree blossoms of DC are as beautiful as the hope blooming in my heart.
After nightfall on Monday:
BA-RUCH A-TAH ADO-NAI E-LO-HE-NU ME-LECH HA-OLAM
ASHER KID-E-SHA-NU BE-MITZ-VO-TAV VETZI-VA-NU AL SEFI-RAT HA-OMER.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the counting of the Omer.
Today is three days of the Omer.
