✨ To meditate on today

According to the Sayings of the Fathers, the sage Ben Bag-bag is speaking of the Torah, God’s teaching: one can turn it and read it again endlessly, for it contains everything, and all that you are is reflected in it. Today, slowly reread a sentence that nourishes you, then a second time, and notice what becomes clearer within you on the second reading.
