Thirty-two days of the Omer 5778

Today is thirty-two days, which is four weeks and four days of the Omer. נצח שבהוד, Netzach ShebeHod, Eternal Splendor.

Is there something in your life that is purely holy? Something that immediately connects you to goodness, Truth, love, and mystery? Are you able to reach that Eternal Splendor whenever you need it?

It’s a struggle for me. Praying out loud leads me towards Eternal Splendor. Studying a text that pierces my soul can take me to that place. But I struggle to stay connected. I struggle to sleep enough to keep my Yetzer HaRa, inclination towards destructiveness, at bay.

May we all find a source of Eternal Splendor that speaks to us. And may we remember to make time for it.
