Count the Omer-Week 6-/Yesod (FOUNDATION)-Day 3/Tiferet (COMPASSION)

Stephen Stills and Graham Nash playing together.

Week 6-/Yesod (FOUNDATION)-Day 3/Tiferet (COMPASSION)

"We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize."
-Thich Nhat Hanh-

Reading up on the history of arguments and actions that led to brake ups and later to getting back together of Crosby, Stills and Nash. They may be famous but that doesn't make them immune to the regular problems I have. Ego and lack of deep listening can be an issue for anyone. As I watched Graham Nash tune into his two friends I guessed there has been a change in them. To sing in harmony, to live in harmony requires being open to every possibility. Today I tried the children to be brave and go after whatever it is they want for time passes quickly. At the same time I reminded them to wait and listen as opposed to waiting to talk. Every moment a blessing.

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 thirty-eight days which is five weeks and three days of the Omer.
