While Cal, Tal, and Nia are clanking cabinet doors, surveying shelving, and diving into the dishwasher in search of gummy rabbits, Peeps, and Cadbury Creme Eggs — I find it’s just us this morning.
Hello…
I’ve been thinking about our search… and how much of my life I’ve waited for gifts to be delivered… when they’ve been inside me all along.
In the Book of Soul, author Mark Nepo says:
Our constant challenge is to accept how life wears away what doesn’t matter until the miracle of life is revealed in everything. Once living this barely in the open, our work is to let the light of Spirit come through, never thinking that we own it, but letting it use us to brighten and warm the hearts of others. This is the purpose of the human journey: to live openly and honestly until we become a source of uncovered light. Then life pours forth to renew us and all we meet.
Or if you prefer a shorter version… I’m still holding onto a tag from a long ago tossed tea bag:
Live light, travel light, spread the light, be the light.
This is a day the Lord hath made… let us rejoice and be glad.
Thank you for spreading the light, Gail. And Happy Easter!
Hmmm... Peter Cottontail!!
“Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hopping down the bunny trail
Hippity-hoppity Easter’s on its way.”
I like the topic of “light.” When trying to quiet my mind, usually at least a two-rabbit endeavor, I listen to an album by Kitaro, “Light of the Spirit.” It does help my light to shine.
Happy Day, Gail.
