Easter is almost here! I have heard others, and heard 'about' a few more, feeling as if Easter has come and gone or just doesnt hold that something that they think it should; yet for myself, it is welling up in front of me like a forest seen from afar, the closer I get to get it the larger and more overwhelming and the more depth it takes on. Enough so that an entire army could enter and disappear without more than a few broken branches where they entered as all the remnants of them that remained and ever had. I see this seemingly unbound vastness and all I can think of is 'What's inside? Is there anything on the otherside?' I have never felt this small beside anything before. It's Easter. It comes every year. But this year....'it' sees me and knows, or maybe I am the one who sees it...and understands. I am Unprepared. Unworthy. Unclean. And yet here is this beckoning appointment unfurling itself before me. The time has come to make a choice, and I can only stare in awe and reverance as I am consumed. 'What's there hiding in the dark? Or the Light?'
