Praying in the Islamic Cultural Center.
Week 5-/Hod (SPLENDOR)-Day 1/Chesed (LOVE)
"My actions are my only true belongings."
-Thich Nhat Hanh-
Today was one of those days where each moment slides into the next and every moment is a wonderful one, harmonious. I think it is at those moments where we need to make sure to stop and reflect, to pray, to love, to be grateful. The weather was nice, synagogue service especially sweet with compliments, gifts and a celebration of two young girls conversion. Then a walk with a friend to embassies with beautiful dancing and costumes. A perfect ending in the Islamic Cultural Center. My Indian scarf became my Islamic head cover. I sat down on the carpet and silently thanked the Creator.
After nightfall on Saturday:
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 twenty-nine days which is four weeks and one day of the Omer.
