I like to think of this day as the SuperGlue day in the Omer Count. Netzack of Yesod is very much about endurance in connection. Finding the endurance to stay in relationship through the tough times. Making a renewed and conscious commitment on a daily basis to remain open and vulnerable, fearlessly intimate. This is not something that is demonstrated once. But over and over again over time. Tenacity in the face of all the issues that relationship throws at us.
And certainly, given the gluey nature of this day, one of the fears and counter-commitments that can come up is fear of getting stuck. And that's always a good fear to face. And question whether the fear is about one's own inner stuckness. About how we (I) project my stuckness onto a partner and blame the relationship for my not having the courage to grow. When relationship is a spiritual path, the commitment to connection, and the commitment to personal growth may clash, but they are in fact the same struggle.
