Day 22 of the Omer – Overcoming Self With Compassion

Chesed in Netzach – compassionate kindness in eternity of the self.

We can try to see the universe as centered on ourselves, we could be the pivot of all existence – this is the essence of Netzach, eternal victory.

Today, this week, it takes only a little sympathy and compassion to overwhelm all other sentiments as we grapple with tragedy in Boston.

So, Netzach will have to wait a little longer as we focus on coping and kindness. Or, we can see the greatest impact of our selves right now in the extension of care and support to those most in need at a trying time.

I contribute some of my self to Boston today.
