After 5 months (Nov., Dec., Jan., Feb., March) of Winter and Winter like temperatures, it's great to have a day like today. Mid-60s, slight breeze, completely sunny, the trees budding with pink and white buds trumpeting their return on the canvas of a crisp, sky blue sky. The world is anew.
This is probably why there is Easter (knock off of Ishtar Day-- Babylon) and Passover representing the crossover from slavery/death to life. Easter (spiritual ressurection-- the conquest over the slavery of the flesh which is sin-- thence, absolution) and Passover (a cultural resurrection of the Jewish people). The Pagans (the Druids, followers of Mithra, Sol, Ra, Osiris, etc.), the Jews, and the Christians all have a day or time in which they celebrate(d) rebirth-- Spring. It's fairly universal around the globe and throughout time. On a gorgeous day like today, after months of being in the belly of the whale so to speak, it's completely clear to me what drove them to celebrate life.
I feel renewed today. Rain tomorrow. Live now. Die later. Cheers my lovelies.
