06 Eye Above

Know what is above you: a seeing eye and a listening ear and all your deeds being inscribed in a book.

Ethics of the Fathers 2

This image of a round contrail against the textured sky calls to mind Rabbi Judah HaNasi’s teaching about G-d’s constant watching presence. As we go about our daily business, we may lose our sense of proportion. This timeless message reminds us to lift our eyes upward to the vastness of the skies and measure our deeds from a heavenly perspective. Everything we do is seen, everything we say or think is heard, and G-d remembers it all.
