Joyous greetings!
Easter is a good time to celebrate renewal. The egg has long been a symbol of rebirth and new beginnings… it signifies potential for the coming new seasons. This year, especially, when we are all finding life more challenging, difficult, problematical or just plain heavy, Easter provides a golden opportunity to mark the ending of the old order and a fresh start – literally a brave new world.
And don’t forget the Easter Bunny, who isn’t really a rabbit at all but originally a depiction of the magical hare, recognised the world over as the incarnate connection between humanity and the natural world, the quirky, tricksy, endearing messenger between the moon and the earth, the link between our ordinary everyday life and our spiritual existence, planting the seeds of new life (eggs) around our gardens and green spaces as the natural world bursts into buds and blossoms.
Whatever your religion or spiritual beliefs, cherish and enjoy this very special and sacred time.
From my home to yours, great good wishes for a very happy day!
Easter and the Vernal Equinox are a time of new beginnings, of rebirth, regeneration and the upsurge of spring and the new cycle of the growing season… of the light, bright, active half f our year. Here is a gentle suggestion as to how we can all become involved in creating a new world truly fit for our children and grandchildren to inhabit.
All last year I watched in admiration as a friend underwent serious surgery and fought to regain general mobility and specifically the use of her arm. All her friends marvelled at her tenacity and courage. Every time I saw her, we discussed how she was progressing and what new achievements she had accomplished. We laughed and hugged and aimed to remain very positive.
