Resurrection: Night and Day




Post 33


Resurrection: An easy, yet not easy concept to grasp.



What would it be like to be resurrected into a new life where everything was the same, but different. Different in a fully-embodied, liberated, amazing way, better than your best dream, on the edge of unimaginable.








What would the moment before resurrection be like?













What would death be like?







We do not, cannot know.


But life we can somewhat know.  And new life we can guess at, imagine, perhaps even experience for blessed instances within our present mortality. Instances that are an earnest of a greater, deeper reality from which we have come, and to which we go. Ancient poets have written of the tears in things, but sometimes I feel as if there is a greater happiness just beating within all things, just waiting for the joy that is theirs, and ours, truest inheritance of all.


HAPPY EASTER!

Time of Soft Trees

Post 30

 

Now is the time of soft trees, 
the beginning, when hints of pink, green and yellow tint the taupes and blues of winter.

So, below, a poem about life. Very short. Very slight. 
And fit for an Equinox, - at least half bright.




Tilth


Deep in the underhush 
   Dig low, pile high;
Warm as the underbrush
   Deep as the sky

    


Warm as the underbrush,
   Grasses and sedge,
Berries and daisies
   Fringe a low ledge.



                                                                                


                                                                                   
A stream at the edge
Moves through the dew,
The deeper the life
The stronger the clue.

                                                                                                                                                             
 
Happy Spring
