Easter & the Seasons

First, I wish you all a Happy Easter — a time when we take a day for fun, Easter egg hunts, chocolate bunnies, special dinners, laughter, family and the remembrance of our beliefs based upon our faith. It is also the celebration of Passover (“Pesach”, meaning to pass through, to pass over or to spare), one of three major holidays of the Jewish faith. 

April is when Spring is picking up momentum and plant life is returning from a season of dormant sleep. Beauty surrounds us as flowers blossom, lawns turn green, trees show new growth upon their branches and the birds grace us with their songs. At no other time are we as blessed as with Spring time. Have you ever noticed that as Spring approaches an inner process begins. Perhaps we feel a lightness…an almost giddiness about the coming days. There might even be the urge to clean and get rid of the old, (making room for something better), or perhaps we buy something new that our heart sings for.

I believe that Spring is where people smile more, are much happier and kinder. There is a subtle energy that grows as the renewal of life awakens inwardly. Anticipation of what is to come rises with “feel-good” feelings.

We are always being told to watch our thoughts, be conscious of what is going on around us and to live in the now. I believe these to be true statements. I also feel with each coming season there is a direct correlation between us that particular time.

We are cyclic in nature, just as Summer, Winter, Fall and Spring are. Each cycle has certain attributes making them unique. We, as humans are tied directly into those cycles. We are connected to all energies (the unity; the all-as-one thing) and therefore respond in like fashion.

Think about it, Fall we prepare ourselves when we take what we have learned into the next phase of our life; Winter we hibernate and rest; Spring we breakout and celebrate and Summer we find new cycles of fun, learning and self-improvement.

If we flow with the seasons, rather than resist or complain about them, our journey will become more fulfilling.

How often have we heard about the effects of the Full Moon on people? I can recall when I worked at the CTB (Western Union) people came out-of-the woodworks. Also I remember those old flicks with Lon Chaney as he turned into a werewolf. I use to love those shows, even though I would always cover my eyes.

I guess the point I wish to share is that we are more than humans walking the Earth. We are directly connected to every aspect of our world, our universe and when we understand this, life become a new plateau from which we can view evolution of All-That-Is.

Take care my friends, enjoy what Spring has to offer.

In Love & Light
