Gevurah in Hod – power and rigor in humility and smallness.
These seem tough to combine at first. Humility, even losing our selves in our powerlessness, may be a crutch. We need to exercise restraint.
Gevurah represents powerful restraint – a mindfulness of enough being enough since we aim to be mindful of moderation in all things, even in those we identify as virtues.
An excess of smallness may increase our sense of personal virtue, and may limit our abilities to take action.
Even our counting should be moderate!
