Pragmatism balances ideas

Day 20 of the Omer

Yesod in Tiferet – a solid foundation in the balance of compassion and rigor.

High ideals and values – caring and justice, self and community – can often dominate my thinking when at some point I must entertain how the thing actually applies – where is the solid footing of my grand plan?

As a person who spends much time deliberating, turning those deliberations into something that can be concretely implemented often comes as a wake-up call.

So, aim high and think deeply, and then embrace the need to have a foundation, a connection to the ground on which the plan will happen, we hope.
