Nobility in Compassion

A photo of the Cedar Tree from another time

a few years ago, when summer vines entwined and crawled up it.

Beauty to anticipate as our late spring begins anew.

The Tree of Life reaches out through all the seasons.

 

Omer Day 20

Yesod of Tiferet

Bonding in Compassion

Sometimes the mystical and the everyday or the possibly concerning

collide. I was peripherally exposed to Covid through outdoor contact to my neighbor

and this is my Second Home Covid Test. Negative Yay! But compassion to those who don't get such good results or who now lie in the grave.

I feel fine, but also feel Covid coming closer and closer all the time,

with my sister ill and now today I learned my whole neighbors family has it.

The Tree of Life holds Every Concern and Every Joy.

Remembering spending these precious days

with my brother Wallace 2 years ago when

he stayed with me during the early days of the pandemic.

He has not been to my house for two years since

It was just after the fires and looting in my neighborhood.

Once again the cycle of the year goes round. 

Seasons pass and the Jewish Holidays mark time as well.

I have documented the Omer cycle for years

and look forward to sharing it with you

as I weave past drawings of the mystical Cedar Tree of Life

along with this years observations and musings.
