Today is the 41st day of the counting of the Omer: Yesod of Yesod

If you've been reading my comments on the Omer you know I've written about the addictive side of Yesod. Today however, Yesod of Yesod, is a day to consider Somerset Maugham's last word on the subject: Only connect. It is all about the heart, but connection takes guts, courage, surrender, discipline, compassion -- in fact all of the qualities that lead up to Yesod. When all are present the connection is as deep as a that between a mother and a newborn child, almost cellular. How can we experience this in our relationships? I don't have an answer, I only have a goal. Only connect.
