Gather

THE BIG IDEA

This week is an excellent time to gather all the delights that Purim brought you, and begin to build a dwelling place for the divine in your heart and home. 

Tap into the overflowing generosity of the freshly forgiven Israelites who contributed to the Mishkan (Tent of Meeting)  with such abundance Moses had to ask them to stop giving. Visualize the beauty able to be created when all of our individual beautiful pieces come together to build a place for the divine to fill completely. 

Maximize the power of joy and laughter still available in this month to see the bigger cosmic presence in your life, hidden and perfect like the story of Esther. Use all the light you brought down to resist the downward pull toward chaos, anger, depression, protest, and negativity. Instead, choose the light. Choose the joy. Choose the laughter. Bathe yourself in the unity of this week’s Torah’s energy, the lights of forgiveness, and the cosmic laughter we are headed toward when we realize at the deepest levels we are ONE.
