What an incredible Easter this has been! So many powerful images and emotions as the day began. I was awake for one of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever experienced. So many colors, the sky was alive in vibrant magenta, pink, orange, blue, and purple. I love the way the low clouds reflect the pink light of dawn. On the way to Church I passed First Baptist who always decorates a large cross in the front of the Church with fresh cut flowers and blooming shrubs. The Cross comes alive, transformed from a harsh cold reminder of the crucifixion to a beautiful, living testament to the Living Christ. WOW!!!!!!
Today's episode of "Speaking of Faith" (http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/) featured an interview with Armenian Orthodox Theologian Vigen Guroian (http://www.guroian.com/Welcome.html) talking about his book "The Fragrance of God." Beautiful correlation of our sense of God and our sense of smell. We smell something and identify with it but it is still somewhat mysterious and uncertain. Much like our relationship with God. A true mystic (my kinda Christian!)It is going on my MUST READ list. Right now I'm finishing up "Take this Bread" by Sara Miles (http://saramiles.net/). She fully explores "eating Jesus" and all of what that means.
Take some time today and see God alive in our world, in our time.
Grace and Peace to all Easter People!!!!

Easter was a day to behold with the visuals of people and flowers in bloom, the smell of incense in the Cathedral and the sound of people's voices singing out. It was glorious!
