Here we are. It's Passover, and the first weekend after the full moon. According to ancient tradition, this Sunday I will celebrate Easter. This is a holiday of hope, renewal and rebirth, a time to honor the magic and mystery of the universe. For me, it is a celebration of life, of the rising from the dead, of life eternal, for energy never dies, it is only transformed. The darkness of winter surrenders to the bright spring. Light triumphs over darkness. So shall it ever be.
Whatever your beliefs, have a wonderful weekend. Celebrate the season of life and rebirth.
it's amazing how long these ancient traditions have lasted.it's what keeps us as a people going, its all we have sometimes.....have agreat easter deedee, love from jc
ReplyDeletedeedee can't help but think as stare out the window at the eternal northwest gray that the easter tradition of rebirth doesn't fit here with nature.
ReplyDeletedark and rain dominate till july most times and these then are the good years the cold water supporting more life than warm.[it's the oxygen and algae blooms] the rebirth happens late summer with the return of the salmon[or not, at least lately]what should keep us going as a people, the return of god's bounty, his gifting to the region
has been lost to fertilized lawns decorated in easter eggs.what i do appreciate though is your spirit in spite of your circumstance,it's refreshing.peace,coyote in search of his eyes
Deedee, may your Easter be filled with the joy and wonder of this time... I send you love and hugs my friend, Vxx
ReplyDeleteRebirth and the wonders of the Universe. That's what it is all about.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend filled with joy,
