From Left Field
It was like being splashed in the face with cold water on a hot dusty day. It was a surprise and very refreshing.
You see, I have been doing some very difficult, very deep, soul work for a little while now.... so focused that I really haven't been to aware of the world around me. Easter came and went with no significance, no joy, no meaning. We didn't even go worship with our community this year (although that had more to do with the weather and a visiting friend). And then yesterday, I went for some massage therapy (this is the kind of massage that leaves you sore and achy afterward... not all pampered) and the woman giving me the massage said something that just washed over me. We were talking about the soul work I am doing and a few other things and then she busts this out: "Well! It is resurrection season after all!" Now, this is coming from someone whom I am guessing is Buddhist.... err, maybe, because she seems rather eclectic in her religious interests. Regardless, it surprised me and it was wonderful. It is resurrection time. It is the season of new and intense growth! And its good. Perhaps I will survive, and maybe even thrive. Yeay Jesus.
