i think we tend to lose the forest for the trees when it comes to Easter, in my view.

we commodify and make things transactional. we seem to have a prevalence for making things transactional. but i think this says more about us, than it reveals anything about God. we seem to be the ones always needing sacrifice, blood, payment of some sort. oh that our hearts would awaken to Love!

Love isn’t transactional.

Love isn’t conditional.

Love is the foundation of all and where from all existence arises.

Love is the ultimate truth, that still is present and reveals itself in this relative space.

the larger message of Easter, the wider view, is that Love is the answer. Love is incarnational, Love is available as a path and as embodiment. Love will ask us to give everything, our very life, and then give it back renewed and more vast than we could have imagined.

the larger message of Easter, the wider view, is that Love carries the day, into night, and on into the dawn which always arrives. this is the pattern, imprinted in nature, and known in the deepest place of our heart consciousness where we are always in union. Love holds both life and death, yet transcends both as the ultimate truth and reality.

Jesus was willing to see this, to embody this. Jesus invited us to do the same. how? open our hearts and be generous. love our neighbor. welcome the stranger and outcast. heal the sick. tend to the imprisoned. feed the hungry. lift up the poor. turn the other cheek. forgive all.

what good news indeed. and the icing on the cake? we don’t have to wait until death to find out. we can live Love now.

Happy Easter to all who observe and celebrate! and may we all choose to live a life of embodied love.
