What does
Easter mean to you?
|
Easter 2015 was our family's first Holiday (Holy Day) with Matty in Spirit. I had heard Kelley Mooney's rework of the song Hallelujah and the power of the lyrics and cords touched my soul. I was brought back to the faith of my childhood. I spent time reflecting upon the meaning of Easter and how the tenets of this Holy Day as observed by my family — Love, Sacrifice, Faith and Renewal, were now intertwined with grief as I searched for answers and understanding to combat my deep sorrow. I'm reexamining my feelings on this, my third Easter without the physical presence of my beautiful boy. I have learned on this journey that grief has a Master Plan and will show me parts and pieces when it feels my heart is ready for delving into my journey at a deeper level; when a new lesson needs revealing; when growth and healing can be seen on the horizon.
Today, I find myself in the throws of
reflection on renewal. I'm searching for clues on the road to my personal
transformation that will reveal how I mourn and grieve another loss—the loss of
Me—critical factors in discovering my newly recast version.
I go into meditation with a
knowing that in Love, Sacrifice, Faith
and Renewal; I can't see them, I can’t touch them, but they can touch me. The
constant in all four elements, whether viewed through the eyepiece of a child's
faith or the heartbreak of grief--is Love. It always comes back to Love!
Wishing you all a Blessed and Peaceful Holiday.
