In a Woman's Smile:
In our Holy Torah we are told that a man must cleave to his wife and become one with her. No such imperative is placed upon a woman. Why is this?
This is because it is natural and intuitive to a woman, when she loves a man, to give herself over entirely to the man that she loves. Such a level is not intuitive to a man; indeed, he must strive every day to achieve such devotion, and even so will have a very hard time attaining and practicing such a high level of love.
One of the results of this 'giving over' is that a loving woman will often see herself only through the eyes of the man whom she loves. If he loves her as he should, then all is well. But all too often this is not the case, and as a result of a man's negativity and insensitivity, a woman will see herself through lesser eyes than where she actually resides. This causes great damage to the self-esteem of the woman, and in fact also causes great damage to the world as a whole.
For a woman is the very highest of creations, and the light and harmony of the world is directly tied to her state of joy and radiance. Woe to us that her sense of self is so deeply tied to the perspective of a shallow man, who can only aspire with intense effort to honor the light of the woman in his life.
This responsibility, to honor, love and respect the woman in a man's life, is a Trust of the highest order for each and every man who has merited the love of a woman.
But should a man fail to understand and fulfill this lofty duty, it is imperative that each and every woman know to herself how naturally beautiful and Spiritually perfect she is. And that the light and harmony of the world we live in is directly tied to the brightness of her smile.

Give a listen to this week’s Shu-Shine and learn about how we can each use the beautiful material of this world to make it into a place where the Divine Presence can rest, and women can shine!
Blessings to all of us to bring Heaven down to Earth by putting our energy into being less smart, and more intuitive, and using the physical tools in our hands to create True Spiritual Vessels.
With Tons of Love,
~Shu
