Death and Resurrection
Embracing daily acts of rebirth with mindfulness
We are certainly living in different, strange times. After a pandemic that pulled us apart from one another, both physically and even ideologically, the current set of events in the world makes us reconsider what is really important and what really matters to us.
We all seem to like new beginnings. But we are always afraid of the necessary endings. Those on spiritual journeys report positive new beginnings, but also painful and unexpected endings. Endings of relationships, careers, friendships, family ties, etc.
Why are endings so hard to deal with? Why do we keep holding onto past behaviors, actions, and people who have brought nothing but pain? Why don’t we feel safe enough to let go?
Since this is Easter weekend, a very special and cherished holiday amongst Christians around the world, and particularly enjoyed by me, I couldn’t help but think of the Death tarot card.
Who hasn’t seen a movie scene where an important character meets a questionable and shady medium who pulls this card, causing everyone in the room to gasp? Sounds familiar? What feelings…
