With the brokenness of the world revealed,
We can find among the fragments
Paths of healings.
I encourage us to take some time each day and let the intention of compassion and relationship fill our hearts and minds. Let’s send blessings to each other and the world.

During Tiferet
The month of Iyar arrives offering healing
And the great gift of second chances.
From the expanse of Chesed
We step into the week of Gevurah
Which brings
Restraint, Judgment, Discernment, Strength.

May it inspire our vision and devotion,
And may the exquisite generosity of earth remind us
That loving transformation is possible.

Help us be present with love and courage.
