Days past Easter I am catching up – I recognized your voice and spirit in this powerful and tender and wise poem. Lovely.

Happy Easter Monday to you, too, Rachelle. I am reading this for the first time very late (was away on Sunday). When I reached the middle of the poem I thought, “Rachelle wrote this” — aha I’m right!.

Thank you, it so beautiful, so meaningful, one to be printed and re-read every year.

Thank you so much, friends!

Yes, I did write this on Easter morning before we went to church. I miss the euphoric feeling I used to have on Easter, when I believed everything so fully and Christ felt so near.

On the other hand, I feel lighter now that I hold everything with a more gentle grip, and I know stuff is breaking off of me and out of me during this transformative time in my (mid-life!) faith development. I have fewer emotional/charismatic experiences in church, and more confidence in my life as follow of Jesus.

Lots going on still, in my religious world.

Much love and warmth to you this snowy Easter Monday.
