I bless this day for the wonderful adventure it can become as I walk through it with the eyes of wonder rather than boredom, use every opportunity to express peace rather than irritation, and choose love over fear.

Jesus spoke the language of transformation, not ritual. His authority was rooted in wisdom, not priesthood or prophecy. When we recognize him as a moshel moshelim—a teacher of wisdom—we gain clarity about what he was doing. He wasn’t enforcing law or proclaiming divine punishment. He was drawing us into deep personal reflection, using parables and riddles that made us stop and think. This tradition didn’t demand obedience but invited inner change. We’re not called to replicate ancient rituals but to wrestle with questions that break us open. Rather, he stayed close to the ground of wisdom: the transformation of human consciousness. What does it mean to lose ourselves to find what matters? How do we live with fearlessness and deep generosity? These are not abstract ideals. They are the living edge of spiritual practice.

May we stay close to the ground of wisdom, allowing the transformation of consciousness to guide our way.
