Lady sculpture amidst the azalea bush on Biltmore Street.
Week 5-/Hod (SPLENDOR)-Day 5/Hod (SPLENDOR)
"In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality."
-Thich Nhat Hanh-
Walking home I spied a sculpture of a lady in front of a townhouse. She was standing amidst red-violet flowers of an azalea plant, holding up a large scarf above her head and seeming to almost float in place. Happy colors, happy pose I wonder how often we feel totally in synch with our surroundings? Staying present and being alert to moments of perfection isn't a job but a mission. Now it was me standing and I just let the colors wash over.
After nightfall on Wednesday:
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-three days which is four weeks and five days of the Omer.
