Although I am no longer a Christian, I am deeply moved by the message of Easter. It is the message of Rising from the Dead - rising from the ashes and being born anew. This is the ancient story of the Phoenix. And is seems so appropriate to our current story of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. May this pandemic, which has the country and the world in the grips of tragedy, be a story of rising from the ashes, stronger, healed, casting off those parts of ourselves and our societies that don't work, and stepping into a newer and better and more spiritually evolved version of ourselves, our nation, and our world.
Let today be a turning point. Let the rising from the ashes begin.
Happy Easter......
