Kabbalistic Sephirat HaOmer - day 42
Malchut sh b'Yesod ~ Sounds and Unfurl
Expressively I share myself as I Serve G*d.

Sephirat HaOmer Malchut sh b’Yesod, 42nd day.
In the fullness of Omer’s 6th week, Day 42, as the Sago Palm fronds unfurl following Yesod’s gestation and birth, I can feel the joy of Malchut, Shechina/Feminine Divine Presence resting upon me and on the long green fronds as tight curls begin to open and spread and stretch, their arms bestowing upon us their expressive bounteous beauty, communicating their delight, and I witness this annual stage of life.
This may be how I stretch my arm and begin playing my percussion cymbal after I have lovingly removed it from silent hibernation’s inactivity. Its roundness resembles the tight roundness of new curls. Do you know that this is the creation of new fronds?! Don't they look like carved instruments?! My self-expression with Malchut as garment covering my soul conveys to chevre joyful prayer as it unfurls in rings of reverberating sound, sending out vibes of connecting joy. Drums have been a creative Yesod, foundation for my life, and I’ve honored the vision I was blessed to receive decades ago for this expression. As Shavuot nears in a week, the sounds (Ex. 20:15) for me could have been sounds of thunderous cymbal. The cymbal is a bissel louder than what Miriam HaNeviah played earlier at the crossing of the Sea. Hmm, Maybe G*d played cymbals.
