Easter and Resurrection

Resurrection. A recurring theme today and throughout history. In nature, in religious texts, in our daily experiences- whether we realize it or not. Every day we are resurrected from the death of sleep and awaken a new being, able to mold and shape a new experience for ourselves. Our humanity, so "real" and permanent to us, is actually a pliable, changeable, ever-renewing resurrection. Each morning we have a choice of who and what we will be. When we allow the news, media, gossip, friend's drama, family stress and career pressure to consume us, we are shrouded in a fog of doom & gloom; a perpetual state of zombie-hood. The walking dead. We begrudgingly pry our eyelids open and go through the motions- motivated by fear, shame and panic. When morning comes we can consciously decide to "give up the ghost", essentially die to our old ways. To exhale the stale, rancid stench of death and breathe in the love of God. To be born again and start anew. It's not a one-time thing. Not a now-or-never event. Not an "either you choose it or loose it" plan. We can resurrect our life each and every day! It is a choice and entirely up to us. 
As a Christ-follower, today I celebrate the resurrection of He who lead the way.  But whatever your beliefs, I pray you have a beautiful Sunday. May this day be the day you come alive with LOVE, and let die the old, unhappy ways of your past. Live fearlessly. Live bravely. Live with LOVE and share it abundantly. God bless & Namaste. ~P.Frye
