Living the Easter life

Sometimes it takes a jarring moment of truth to realize how good life is. A dear friend of ours recently lost her Mama. It hurt me to the core to hear this news, like a knife cutting through a chakra; but the days go on.

Perhaps it's about losing an elder - she lived a very long life - or maybe it was about knowing a daughter had lost her Mother. This has been a mystery I've observed through most of my adult life with admiration and curiosity; not knowing what makes it such a special bond, at times jealous that I couldn't experience this bond in my own child-Mother relationship. Nonetheless I believe we are a better species for this magical union; even when there is fussing and squirming, the love women share with each other is what I aspire to [as part of my faith journey].

Supposed to be a nice day in Seattle; more blooms and more children laughing and screaming with joy. We have a young scientist in the house; eager to achieve but struggling to do the paperwork [we all struggle at this :} ], prodded with love from Mama she'll get it done.

Frijoga

Since Frijole knows how to stretch; then let him extend this skill to
daily yoga practice.

We can use all the prayers - from all God's creatures - to see us
toward the light.

Christ asked us to get behind Him but stay ahead of our ego. The self
is alone when there is only it's desire to be followed.

I watched the day glide to a calm end, yet we remember the many who
groan in fear. We are your comfort children; we are you.

Thinking peace is not an act of love, but a decision to breathe a full
air.
