Week Kavannah: Daat.\u00a0 \u00a0 The Bridge Between Mind and Heart<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Chokhmah (Wisdom\/Inspiration) is a\u00a0seed<\/b>\u00a0and Binah (Understanding\/Analysis)\u00a0 is the\u00a0soil<\/b>\u00a0that develops that seed into a plant,\u00a0Da\u2019at<\/b>\u00a0is the\u00a0nervous system<\/b>\u00a0that carries the vital life force from the brain to the rest of the body. It is the point of transition from \u201cthinking\u201d to \u201cbeing.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n One brief shining: She displayed her new-to-her Subaru Forester with a Vanna White sweep of the hand, pointed out the heated mirrors and heated wiper blades, the all-weather car mats, the three, yes, three screens, the manual handbreak, the shifter that was not a dial, and started Frances to give me a quick ride around the neighborhood so I could get the full experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Ruth did it right. She had a pre-purchase inspection of both the Mazda she liked and the soon-to-be Frances. Detailed reports on each at $200. The Mazda, a Wisconsin gal, had rust and eight pages of mechanical problems. Frances had only minor notes.<\/p>\n She bought a two-year warranty. Joe suggested that. As a college student she doesn’t have cash reserves adequate for a large repair bill.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tarot: I’m focusing on two aspects of the Ten of Arrows. What inspiration and dedication am I modeling for the next generation and what is the pole star for my commentary project?<\/p>\n First, I’ve written Ancientrails, a bread crumb trail to the forest of my life. In my will a codicil ensures it will remain available in case Joe, Ruth, or Gabe want to consult it.<\/p>\n Second, modeling. I spend time each week with friends, in person and on zoom. Also with members of CBE through mussar and Torah study. I love and care for Shadow.<\/p>\n I greet Ruth and Gabe with joy each time I see them, encourage them, assist them when I can. Make sure they know Grandpop loves them.<\/p>\n I maintain close contact with Joe and Seoah. Even with 6,000 miles between us. Also with Mary and Mark, 8,000 miles away.<\/p>\n My commentary project needs tighter ratcheting to find its pole star. Even with the narrow parameters I established as I started, it’s too broad, not specific enough to make it distinctive. Probably headed towards a focus on the far right since I see very few folks doing regular reporting on it and I love the subject.<\/p>\n Know the opposition, build a political culture that defeats them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yule and the Moon of Deep Friendship Sunday gratefuls: Broncos.
