Yud painting by Dani Antman
Decisions, decisions... Discerning choices can be difficult to make for several reasons: our desires get in the way of reality, our opinions override facts, or our emotions hijack rational thought. Cognitive dissonance (conflicting ideas and attitudes) may require us to have a sit until all those noisy, internal voices quiet down. Yud, often translated as 'hand,' is given the title Infinite Point by Ginsburgh. In geometry, the point begins all figures, whether it becomes a simple straight line or the complex spiral of a nautilus shell. Our choices also hold this power, but in what direction should our point go? Perhaps Micah 6:8 holds a clue, as it encourages us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.
Poor deluded Micah, his hopes create space for bullys to grow.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed that so many others want someone else to make their decision. Today I am right there with them.
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to wait when I don't know what to do, so I can see how having someone else make the decision could seem much easier. But then I probably wouldn't like their choice. :D
