Easter Reflections

After weeks of dis­mal clouds and rain, I woke up this morn­ing with the ris­ing sun on my face. I felt quite bliss­ful and blessed like a true Easter mir­a­cle hap­pened. I under­stood per­fectly why peo­ple wor­ship the sun–the source of light and life.

Later in the morn­ing, the sun was cov­ered by clouds again, although not as thickly as before. Yet now there’s another down­pour. Through­out the day, the sun has been mak­ing brief appear­ances remind­ing me that some­times that’s the way God-dess is too. He-she cre­ates these brief epipha­nies and then dis­ap­pears again leav­ing us want­ing more. Radha-Krishna even like to play such games of hide and seek with each other. They say, sep­a­ra­tion makes the heart grow fonder.

We must learn to draw strength, sus­te­nance, and inspi­ra­tion from those brief glim­mers, inklings, and visions we receive. Cher­ish, nur­ture, and remem­ber them to gain strength for the jour­ney. Know that there is more to be revealed all in good time.

We all go through times of great joy and great suf­fer­ing. Some­times our whole world seems to fall apart. Then some­times we man­age to pick our­selves up again and start over one more time. It’s Easter morn­ing again!

Drink deeply of the cup of life. Enjoy it fully as God-dess’ gift, and know that when the final end comes, it’s not the end after all, but a new begin­ning. Shine on because we are all chil­dren of the light.
