Day 32: Netzach b’Hod
Netzach of Hod
by Judith E. Felsen
It is not any power over that I seek
but strength of my surrender To Your will
and trust in all Your ways.
In that it matters not if I am as a subtle breeze
or mighty roar of gale force might, as both Your winds of power
and Your gentler breaths do speak of You.
I can only yearn that practice of Your Torah/mitzvot
with devekut, ahavah, all longing of my deepest prayers
assists in clearing channels that prepare me daily
as an empty vessel through which
Your winds of heaven flow.
Reflection
Am I today victorious over the winds of emotion, desire and will which I experience as ruling me?
Am I today triumphant over inner barriers, defenses and rationalizations which may lead me to misdirect my actions as unbridled winds may cause unwanted effects?
Action
May I today allow myself to feel the power of the truth of Torah as the wind upon my back empowering my action.
May I today recognize, acknowledge and embrace the experience of such a wind empowering me now and always?
Got something to say?
