Happy Renewal!

art by Judith Ann Griffith

For many of us, the celebrations of Easter hold negative trigger words such as salvation, resurrection, crucifixion. When we look at the metaphorical meaning of those words, we can relax into an understanding which is different from the traditional storytelling about the murder of Jesus. I’m not going to delve into those interpretations as you all know them as well as I — perhaps better, depending upon your religious background. No matter what we have believed, we’re asked to put down the sword and pick up the flowers, carrying forth the light of forgiveness and recognizing ourSelves in the light of the Christ. I believe this is what Jesus was trying to tell us in his beautiful teachings. If you want some affirmative videos this Sunday morning, search on youtube for Easter/David Hoffmeister. Happy Easter everyone! May the bunnies bring you joy!

"Resurrection: Spiritualization of thought; a new and higher idea of immortality, or spiritual existence; material belief yielding to spiritual understanding."
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 592:9-11
