Thirty-one days of the Omer 5777

Today is thirty-one days, which is four weeks and threedays, of the Omer. Tiferet of Hod. Beautiful Truth in Splendor.

Thebeautiful truth I witnessed today was my fellow students patiently waiting as Itried (for an hour) in vain to retrieve my jacket and scarf from the plane. Andmy sister letting me borrow her sweatshirt. And my husband sending merecordings of my children saying I love you.

May we allbe blessed with soulful community to help us along our journey. May the kidsallow my husband to sleep. May we all have the opportunity to retreat fromdaily life to reconnect with what brings us meaning.
