Soon it will be Easter

Every day asks for a new rhythm, a new balance. Where, how and in what measure you spend your energies. This weighing of rhythm, tempo and measure is not only a matter of investing your lifestock of vital pleasure in energetic activities. It also has to do with enriching mutual memories and with learning the meaning of time. Especially when you share your lifetime with one or more loved ones. That sharing implies the cultivation of acceptance in gratefulness of all the ups&downs, all the whims and surprises - bad&good - of living a destiny in lived dialogue. All meaningless quarrels, dissonances, impossible failures, deceptions and misunderstandings included. Only the little soul will persist in resentment about a lack of respect, acknowledgement. But a compassionate heart&mind will help you to step back from your little wounded ego and rise above and beyond it and the ego-centred world of judgement and feelings.
As I’m really growing “older” now, I know that my life would have taken a different course if only I had learned these insights in a clear, steady and deeply grounded way during my younger years. At least I would have been more carefull to leave out all the foolish, disoriented actions and omissions, which have also determined the course of my life.

But I cannot change my past and I have learned to accept it in its factual and remembered entirety. But tomorrow morning - and of course Now&Here - we all have the opportunity to begin as a newly born. We do not have to wait until Easter to decorate a tree or to make a funny wood sculpture. Our friends here Friedaquilter and CreativeLenna make us share their daily investment of creative energy. And there are so many more simple and modest examples which add up to the reproduction of a beautiful world. The Big World is full of Ugly destruction and desaster, cruelty, you name it. But in spite of that every morning we receive the possibilty for rebirth in rhythm, balance and creativity.
