I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I hope in your words.
My eyes are awake before the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promise.
Hear my voice according to your steadfast love;
O LORD, according to your justice give me life.
They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose;
they are far from your law.
But you are near, O LORD,
and all your commandments are true.
Long have I known from your testimonies
that you have founded them forever.

Look on my affliction and deliver me,
for I do not forget your law.
Plead my cause and redeem me;
give me life according to your promise!
Salvation is far from the wicked,
for they do not seek your statutes.
Great is your mercy, O LORD;
give me life according to your rules.
Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
but I do not swerve from your testimonies.
I look at the faithless with disgust,
because they do not keep your commands.
Consider how I love your precepts!
Give me life according to your steadfast love.
The sum of your word is truth,
and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.

Gevurah of Netzach: the Discipline aspect of Boldness
Psalm 1: 1 - 6
Blessed are people
who walk not in the council of the wicked
nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
but their delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law they meditate day and night.
They are like trees
planted by streams of water
that yield their fruit in its season
and its leaf does not wither.
in all that they do, they prosper.
The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away
Therefore the wicked
will not stand in the judgement,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
Suggestion
Reflect on Gevurah of Netzach: the Discipline aspect of Boldness.
The following is a rewriting of Psalm 1:1 - 6 in the light of the Discipline of Boldness
Blessed are people
whose feet are not guided by craving
or lead by delusions
or blocked by inner voices that mock;
but their joy is to seek God,
to seek Divine Power and be moved beyond the scoffers.
They are like trees
planted by streams of water
that offer their fruit in their season
and their leaves do not wither.
In all they do,
in all circumstances,
they ultimately grow closer to God.
Those who surrender to craving move away, for now;
and instead are scattered by gusts,
distracted by each tiny temptation.
Those blown to and fro
can not yet show up for the truth
can not yet stand its heat;
for God knows the tumult and glories of the Way
and the vanishing of what is not.

Tiferet of Netzach: the Harmonization aspect of Boldness
Psalm 11: 1 - 7
In the LORD I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
“Flee like a bird to your mountain,
for behold, the wicked bend the bow;
they have fitted their arrow to the string
to shoot in the dark
at the upright in heart;
if the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?”
The LORD is in his holy temple;
the LORD’s throne is in heaven;
his eyes see,
his eyelids test the children of man.
the LORD tests the righteous,
but his soul hates the wicked
and the one who loves violence.
Let him rain coals on the wicked;
fire and sulfur and a scorching wind
shall be the portion of their cup.
For the LORD is righteous;
He loves righteous deeds;
The upright shall behold his face.

who does not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbor,
nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honors those who fear the LORD;
who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
who does not put out his money at interest
and does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be moved.

Hod of Netzach: the Yielding aspect of Boldness
Psalm 19: 1 - 14
The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
day to day pours out speech
and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
Its rising is from the end of the heavens
and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heart.
The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;
the precepts of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true
and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors?
Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O LORD my rock and my redeemer.

Reflection at Day 27
Passover to Shavuot
a journey of listening:
from first sheaf to first sheaf,
from barley harvested
wheat ripening
49 days
to Israel's footsteps walking
from blood of lamb sanctuaries
to Sinai
from enslavement to Torah,
from cloud by day, fire by night...
to Red Sea partition
from hunger thirst to manna,
water from rock provision.
We listen, watch, walk, realize...
the road discloses the One
no need to define
by any other means
but a Divine Love journey -
loved and loving
seeking-finding each other
all along the road...
from sheaf to sheaf,
enslavement to freedom,
harvest to harvest
ever refined, ever more bold
in all aspects, all facets,
never conformed to human mold,
a road disclosed as we go.
