Forward Motion

בְּכָל יום אֲבָרְכֶךָּ. וַאֲהַלְלָה שִׁמְךָ לְעולָם וָעֶד

 

“B'chol Yom Avarech'cha  I am accessing "Kol" (all, all encompassing) in order to make this Bracha, to create this burst of nurturing words , and prayers..”  (Machberes Avodas Hashem Intention***)

 

The world is fluid, every minute is a new opportunity.

 

You know what they say about horseback riding?  “We don't look behind us, in the past, because the horse has already passed it!  And, by the time we look in the present … the horse has already passed that, too!”

 

Our goal is to be in “forward motion” -- to look into the future to what we want.  

 

This idea made me think that although we are currently living in seemingly tumultuous times, in which it seems as if there is so much movement, it is as if all these different moving parts and fluctuations is our constant! We are constantly in a state of flux and change, and so, we can  find “THE DAY” – even in the night -- in all that we are doing. When we do this, when we find our awareness of The Day, we can use that to move forward. We can use our awareness of moments of laughter and joy as inspiration to discover what we really want, to clarify what is most important to us, and use these understandings as blessings and praise of Hashem, eternally.

B'chol Yom Avarech'cha  I am accessing "Kol" (all, all encompassing) in order to make this Bracha, to create this burst of nurturing words , and prayers.

Every day and/or every part of the day. Every day is Unique.

This one Bracha has the opportunity to change everything, every day and all this day, all of me and all of us .

(A Brachah is to stand at the place on the ground where the water comes bursting out and to connect to that expansive burst of life, creativity, and nurturance.) 

Va'ahallila Shimcha L'olam Vaed , And I will access the light of illumination, halo.

The Gmarra in Pesachim says that Hallel is Hodaah, Gratitude that can only come from 'G'millah" (weaning).

I understand that everything I do,  everything I eat,  everything I say, and everything I think has this capacity to burst forth with eternal energy. Then, I will reach a stage at which I am beyond the practical , and reach a stage of the ethereal illumination, to relate to my perception of You accessing a world of eternity.
