Boundaries of Beauty, 16 Days of the Omer

The words "choose joy" painted in a sketchbook with brush in foreground and paint in the background

Today is sixteen days, which is two weeks and two days of the Omer, in the year 5783. גבורה שבתפארת. Gevurah ShebeTiferet. Limits within Beauty. Art nourishes the soul, strengthening our bodies to face reality with inspiration, communal understanding, and conviction.

Boundaries Create Space For Living

Without Limits, everything becomes boring.

A pleasurable experience needs an end time or it becomes tedious.

An amazing conversation must come to an end, to allow time for the rest of life.

Truth without limits would make us all Drax, super literal and without nuance.

Limits Provide Balance to Compassion

Compassion without limits become a savior-complex.

Boundaries help us retain time for ourselves and our own needs.

True harmony acknowledges there are limits to coalescing.

Sink Into The Day of Rest

Gevurah ShebeTiferet, the Limits within Beauty, provides a resting place for our weary souls.

We’ve done enough.

We are enough.

May we allow ourselves to just Be.
