I see Rabbi Diane Eliot leading an experiential
movement Ritual at this rock at the Hidden Valley Retreat.
Participants are acting out being Moses, who hits the rock
and are prevented from entering the Promised Land.
They express this in movement.
Then, they experience a different possible future.
They lovingly communicate and ask the rock and God for water.
and Moses, the Moses in each of us, enters the Promised Land.
The Promised Land is the Enchanted Garden.

Chesed she b' Gevurah
Lovingkindness in the week of Drawing in
The marriage of Chesed and Gevurah
produces Tefiret, Beauty in the world.
Just off the phone with Rabbi Diane Elliot,
an Enchanted Garden Club Rabbi.
We shared about our "Hags" Holidays.
Yesterday was the last day of Passover,
the Eighth day.
Today is the Day of Chesed she b' Gevurah.
I made the mistake--was it a mistake--
of putting on my Touch the Earth Gentle Shirt
and even though I had wanted to write a mass
of Blogs pretaining to the Local Food Day at Whole Foods Market
this Saturday, I went out into the garden.
It was a very special three hours or so
this morning, and then I came in really not
wanting to answer the phone, but I did,
and it was Diane.
I left her a message some time within the last ten days.
Her birthday is this Saturday.
That will be Hpd she b' Gevurah.
Hechanch can represent Victory.
Gevurah, containment.
That is the energy around the Whole Foods
Vendor Day...
Daily Focus:

Saturday, April 14
Omer Day 11, The day begins
the Eve before....
Netzach she b' Gevurah:
This day I honor the energies of Life
which fill me. I am aware of the feelngs
associated with the vitality of physical energy.
I am revitalized as I meet the energies I experience.
My actiosn in the world now more energetically refelct
the Life which infuses all things.
IT will be a coming out party for the EG Mobile
that will be ready in about one hour.
Then April 22, the earth day event will be
Omer Day 19, The day begins the Eve before.
Hod she b' Tiferet:
Earth Day,
Daily Focus:
I am the self whom the Eternal One Thinks,
feels, and speaks its life in the world.
As I b edome more aware of the Light of the Heart within me,
I feel a deepening Compassion for all the ways in which
I live in the world. As I appreciate more deeply the
physical sensations I experience, the integrity of my Being
unfolds with greater clarity and wisdom.
I see Diane having her home
in a very special place in where she lives.
She tells me the winderness is ten minutes from her home
now. I can see her up against a hill.
I can see her teaching at Hidden Valley Retreat.
I could imagine her teaching a Torah Portion
where participants move through various energies.
At this Rock, I could imagine a movement dance and
experience with Moses hitting the Rock, and also playing
out different futures. In one he enters the Promised Land,
because he does not hit the rock, but touches it
and asks God for water.
Here is a picture of the Rock at Hidden Valley Retreat,

25th april, Diane's Sun Birthday.
Her Hebrew birthday is this Saturday.
Different kind of information from each birthday,
she tells me.
Pesach, Passover always begins on the 14th of Nissan.
On the second night, they did the Shir a Shirem,
The Song of Songs, the very sensuous reading
from the Bible. I had that music intutitively
at our Seder.
That was the energy
of the First Annual Enchanted Garden Seder.
Rabbi Burt where Diane was, did a seder on the theme of relationship
as well. I was focused on that theme inside me.
She had a very rich Hag. She tells me
there are 15 choices per night. A person
has to drag away to touch nature, however.
I see myself magnetizes a new kind of experience here,
where Nature is the essential focus.
Diane has me wonderful about the kind of
woman who will be my most compatible Soul Mate for the
next period of my life when I am ready to bond again.
The Kallah this summer. I do not feel at this time
I will be there, but I can feel in that richness,
this Soul Mate woman being there.

She was enriched hearing about the
first Enchanted Garden "Don't Eat the Matzah" seder.
