Time for New Beginnings

"There is no remedy for love but to love more." Henry David Thoreau

Today is Easter for Christians.  We just had Passover for the Jewish faith.  Spring is a time for religious celebrations in the major religions.  Perhaps this is because spring is a time for new beginnings.  If we live where there is any grass, we cannot help but see it starting to green in the spring.  There are signs of hope.  Rivers start to thaw, flowers emerge.  A sure sign of hope for me is to see a blooming crocus coming out of the snow.  With this season we can consider what we want in our own lives.  New beginnings.  I listened to an Andrew Harvey class last night, and he suggested that each of us needs to be doing some sacred service.  Caregiving in the form of parenting a young child or caring for someone no longer able to care for her or himself is a form of sacred service.  Today let us honor the sacred service we provide.
