Day 26 of the Omer - Dependence in Importance
Hod in Netzach - quantum smallness and awe in eternal perpetuation of the self.
These ends of the spectrum - humility and ego - depend on each other. All sound thinking, feeling, and acting, relies on balanced and appropriate use of self, sometimes less, sometimes more, and fine tuning that adjustment and its other dimensions takes attention.
To find the smallness necessary for a long term projection of our selves recognizes our interdependence, even as we assert our selves.
We are dependent AND we are important. Recognizing these as co-existing enables us to do better.
Counting continues tonight - blessings to all!
