Ascension day
Today is Ascension day; the feast of the Ascension will be celebrated in most churches on Sunday, but the feast day is actually today, Thursday. The feast of the Ascension commemorates when Jesus was carried up into heaven, 40 days after his resurrection ("a good biblical number" as says a post I just read). I had hoped to attend a service for this today, but as it turns out there was a party I had agreed to attend (I lead such a difficult life). Next year, I hope.
I don't have many deep thoughts - I am quite exhausted, physically and emotionally, from two days of hard work - but if you are curious I really quite enjoyed these reflections on the feast of the Ascension, from a site that I find has good, down-to-earth reflections as well as very beautiful art "meditations".
