Now this is how my mind works. About 5am, I was going to send a friend a note and thought, oh let me create an Easter card to include. Then I thought, let me create one for everyone and post it on Facebook. Then I thought, let me just create a website for it, since it happens every year. As I was looking for images, I thought WTF does a rabbit and painting Easter eggs have to do with the Christians honoring the resurrection of Christ? So I did some research and found some history and images I liked and created the website and posted it on Facebook and Twitter. You can see it here: http://www.horizonsmagazine.com/EasterOstara/index.html
Here it is almost three hours after I had the thought to send my friend a quick note wishing happy Easter, and instead created an entire website about it. That’s how my mind works. But now Easter morning has a more expanded meaning to me. I love knowing the deeper significance of holy days in the different traditions. For me today? I’m gonna stay home and play in my yard. I’ve got a lot of oak and pine deadfall I’m going to clear up, and it should be time to cut a new path in my west woods. There’s a lot of new growth on all the plants that were burnt by winter’s frost.
Have a good Easter. May your spirit be renewed by the promise that every day is a new beginning.
