throw open the doors,
call out glory
turn away from darkness,
simply face the light
set out a room full of welcoming chairs,
be the house of belonging
bevel off the edges of everything known,
look again, more deeply
believe each bright promise in a thousand blades of grass,
discover imperfect moments crammed with extraordinary.
lift the common veil of humanity,
speak peace in every language
allow the darkness of the past to
bleed freely into holy light,
be love.
Looks like your Easter morning dawned bright and beautiful.
enjoy the light

"Allow the darkness of the past to bleed freely into holy light." I don't think that I have ever read a more perfect description of integrating past suffering with present feelings of love and deep compassion for ourselves and for all beings in the world around us than that my friend. Your life is extraordinary in every way.
Love to you at Easter and always
(You must see Elizabeth's post today!)

I could dive into the blue of those photos -- dive in and swim around joyfully with you, dear Rebecca. I hope you are feeling all right on this Easter day -- I think of you often and send you love and healing prayers.

Your words weave a fanciful path in my mind that transcends the here and now and allows me to experience spring with all my senses... So beautifully written, Rebecca.

As does everyone else, I love the idea of letting the past's darkness bleed into holy light. I will keep that thought in my heart. I will try to let that guide me.
Love to you, Rebecca.
Always...M
