In times of deep darkness, we not only need light — we need to be light for one another.

May Easter blessing rest at your feet. May your heart be uplifting at the start of a brand new day. May this brand new awakening carry you through each and every day, with uplifting thoughts in your heart. May each and everything that ever scared your heart be washed away forever. In Jesus name. Amen.

There is a gravesite I go to which is hidden. It sits in a copse of scrub oak, at the end of an unmarked road. There are only four graves: members of my family who died before cemeteries or electricity had come this far out. I go there to listen. To stand beside the brittle trees, beneath the rustling of their leaves. It sounds like the language of our people, the only one they knew. I did not get to know you, I say, but I remember you. Do not worry, they say, for we know you and will remember you too. The wind scatters leaves among the wildflowers where they are sleeping. I go home on an unmarked road. There is no death that separates us from those we love. Only time.

May we let go, and grow bright as stars in a clear, frosty night, the more we are stripped of what we thought we could not do without.
It is an evening to consider exactly what it means to let go, to be stripped of what we thought we could not do without. In the Christian tradition tonight is filled with painful separation.
None of us can imagine what it must feel like. To be separated from those we love. The heart pleads for release and return. We can’t imagine what this would feel like until the moment it’s before us. The disciples watched as their teacher, friend and holy one was drug away leaving them in shock, grief and fear.
The following days were filled with horror and deep sadness. and then a turn that shed light on all that was possible,
Alone, without the things we thought were necessity may we be reminded that we have access to deep seeds that have been planted, and bright stars that shine.
