(photo credit: Bruno)This is what the well-dressed breast cancer-surviving gardener is wearing this year. The gloves are to protect me against an injury that might trigger the onset of lymphedema.
It is the week of tiferet--beauty, harmony, a balance of gevurah and chesed. Some commentators I read equate tiferet with the beautiful and intricate weaving of our lives. In any given moment, things could seem terrible or wonderful. We do not see the big picture. And the holy one of blessing is always there whether we get what's going on or not. Yesterday, netzach in tiferet, a time to look to the future, to hope that all will be in balance, harmony, and beauty. Today, hod in tiferet, a time to be grateful for the crazy-beautiful complexity of life.
