Week 6-/Yesod (FOUNDATION)-Day 2/Gevurah (DISCIPLINE)
"As a Buddhist Sutra hears the voice of the Bodhisattva of compassion: The wondrous voice, the voice of the one who attends to the cries of the world. The noble voice, the voice of the rising tide surpassing all the sounds of the world. Let our mind be attuned to that voice.."
-Thich Nhat Hanh-
This evening I went to Baltimore for a concert of Crosby, Stills & Nash. I was excited as this band of musicians (with Neil Young) has written songs that have been part of my life since high school. Obviously older with brown hair turned white they still had wonderful harmonies and guitar picking skills. At one point each of them played new music they had written. "After all" Crosby commented "we are singer-songwriters and making music is like breathing to us." Some of their lives may have been difficult but the beauty of working together and creating meaningful sound is still there. As the encore song, "Teach Your Children", was being sung the crowd (whose hair was also mostly grey and white) stood, danced and cheered.
After nightfall on Sunday:
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 thirty-seven days which is five weeks and two days of the Omer.
