Day 15 of the Omer.
Chesed in Tiferet – Compassion in harmoniously balanced beauty.
Our Omer Counting asks us to begin each of our value reflections with compassion and caring. Start with that, and then we have a chance of things working out.
Tiferet, like any representation of beauty, may be susceptible to being over-simplified. When we look at beauty starting with compassion, perhaps a vital aspect will be to kindly inject complexity.
“It’s complicated” can be a way of implying something is beautiful in a way that can’t be explained. We can offer complexity as a sign that we care, that we understand that the difficulties on the surface may be getting in the way of seeing the harmony within.
Kindness and complexity contribute to a deep sense of beauty.
