Easter and Passover bring a surge of spiritual energy freely available to all no matter what your religious or non-religious background may be. This energy arises from the devotional celebrations of the millions across the planet that cultural and spiritual traditions, adapted and refined across centuries of time. This year, there is a rupture in traditions with the call to social distancing. But hearts connect regardless, whether alone in stillness, or through technology and virtual gatherings. Regardless of external circumstances, and practices that come and go,that which is true and real for us remains.
From Poems on the Way by Larry Morris:
God has
so gently guided us
this far
our tender hearts
can only stay open
and let God
guide us
all the way
home.
Absorbed in inner freedom
we forget
how not to let go
and God sweeps us
forward, pushing us through
the doorway of
our small doubt
into vast expanding openness
one at last with
the innermost
fabric of the universe.
