see for #36 herein, too - on WEDNESDAY... Day 37 - yes - THIRTY SEVEN....!!

37, thirty seven... a special number. A favorite number... Of many!??

I wrote the following on another blog .. but I like it soo much - here it is here:

"MY COMMITMENT: Commit to a more sane world for all. For safety, food, clothing, shelter, and health for all. On a planet we can call Mother Earth and in a universe looked over by a Creative Father. Do right by our Mother and our Father will do right with Mother. Male and Female together engendering all varieties of peoples in all places.... thriving as per location and cultures.

RADICAL MIDDLE... I am in the middle with my maleness and femaleness. I really can't distinguish between my maleness and femaleness without judging one or the other and judgment is not the point... The point is -- I am multi-faceted... and I believe we all are multi-faceted and that variety, diversity, plurality... is what makes humanity great. I commit to cherishing all. "

Also put out on Facebook...

And while I cannot always say what is great about the Number Thirty Seven -- I can say the Number Thirty Six is a great number.. the Hebrew number is Lamed Vov... and there are people (men... and today women, too???) who are called Lamed ///////vavniks. The Hidden Righteous Ones - Tzadikim Nistarim.

From Wikipedia:

"The source is the Talmud itself, explained as follows:

As a mystical concept, the number 36 is even more intriguing. It is said that at all times there are 36 special people in the world, and that were it not for them, all of them, if even one of them was missing, the world would come to an end. The two Hebrew letters for 36 are the lamed, which is 30, and the vav, which is 6. Therefore, these 36 are referred to as the Lamed-Vav Tzadikim. This widely-held belief, this most unusual Jewish concept is based on a Talmudic statement to the effect that in every generation 36 righteous "greet the Shekhinah", the Divine Presence (Tractate Sanhedrin 97b; Tractate Sukkah 45b).^[1]"

SO -- let us live and be well and strive for personal goodness and righteousness as who knows who he/she really and fully is? It could be anyone... any of us... and besides -- The Lamed-Vav Tzadikim can surely use all they help and support they can get! it IS a big world with lots of people and suffering and resources and possibilities. BLESSINGS TO ALL.
