Omer Day 9 - Gevurah Sh’b Gevurah: Strength within Strength
Today is the ninth day of the Omer.
The beginning of wisdom is awe. (Psalm 111:10)
The strength of the spiritual warrior who remembers
she is not the source of her power
She is the channel through which the Divine power flows.
Our lives are conceived in mystery,
Our strength comes from the Most High.
We bow to the Source of All
as we yield to the power that flows through us.
Practice for today:
Reflect on something you believe to be true.
Feel the rightness,
the truth of this idea, this thought.
Then say to yourself: I could be wrong.
Sit with the sensations that arise.
—Rabbi Yael Levy
