Easter blessings~seacapecod.net
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the sunny, calm, mild and intoxicating island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this Sunday morning, the twentieth day of April, 2014, Easter Sunday, and my blessings to you and yours on this beautiful day here in Hyannis/Hyannis Port. There are so many reasons to celebrate this day, none so much for Christians around the world than the deep belief that the man who walked this earth 2014 years ago, a man who was crucified for his TRUTH, rose from the dead just as he stated he would… Jesus was that man that billions truly believe is the Messiah and will return once again, reflected in Rome a few hours ago, with Pope Francis speaking to the masses, celebrating the hope and promise of that eternal Life.
So many are suffering in the world and country on this day, and we all know who they are. It seems Jesus’ words are only applicable when they are convenient and good for the bottom line, no? But those who give are those who truly receive, and the gift of LOVE is the greatest gift we have to offer. For Love is divine in it’s nature and can be bestowed in so many different ways. The Law of Giving states, “The universe operates through dynamic exchange…giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.” Deepak Chopra once again. I will leave you this gorgeous morn’ on this little sand bar created 11,500 years ago by the Last Great Ice Age with a short poem of sorts by Rabindranath Tagore Gitanjali, reminding us all the power of higher intelligence and all of the very real forces that shape this world we all share, hopefully in love and peace. My deepest prayers for comfort go out today to those poor families in South Korea, who are mourning the loss of at least 50 young students, 250 still missing, lost in a ferry accident only a few days ago…may they find some solace on this Easter and know that the Love of God is with them, even though it does not seem so presently…
This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life. This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new…
Thy infinite gifts come to me only on those very small hands of mine. Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill.
PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
