Day 33 of the Omer – Smallness as Inspiration

Happy LaG b’Omer – the 33rd of the Omer is here – shaving and hair-cutting and going to parties allowed again.​

This is the 5th day of the 5th week of the Omer, Hod in Hod – the awe we get from seeing the universe from our place of smallness, in that place itself.​

Let us remember that our smallness may be a crutch. It too is small.​

Let us embrace a realistic sense of proportion, the infinite inspires awe, let us use this awe to inspire us to be humble so that we act well.​

Still catching up – this is from Saturday night, and Sunday.​
