Tiferet in Hod – harmonious beautiful fine-tuned balance in smallness and grace.
We know that we should embrace some sense of smallness, to self-diminish and withdraw to make room for the growth of others. This is called tzimtzum by the Kabbalists and they imagine the Infinite reducing in order to create.
Doing this well requires a light and balanced touch – too much space and growth isn’t cultivated, too much and it is stymied. A garden can easily be abandoned or over-attended – neither leads to flourishing growth or partnership.
Hold values in mind, pause and reflect, and then figure out the right amount of tzimtzum.
The days of the Omer are diminshing – this is the 3rd day of the 5th week.
