52. The Four Worlds (Action, Emotion, Thought, and Spirit)
are each nested inside each of the others. Sometimes we
have hard shells, like the nuts of assiyah. Sometimes we
have a rock inside us, like the stone fruits of yetzirah.
Sometimes we are soft all the way through, like the fruits
of briyah. And sometimes we are so connected with the
Holy One of Blessing that we melt beyond our bodies
altogether, living in atzilut. May we find blessing in each
of these ways of being, each of these seasons, each of
these worlds.
