"Where flowers bloom, so does hope."
Lady Byrd Johnson
Different circumstances continuously impact the rhythm of life. As things unfold in an orderly manner, there tends to be a steady flow. Doused with joyful situations, there is increased peace and love. Let there be a mishap, however, and our emotions may suck us down into darkness.
For many, today will be filled with bunnies and jelly beans surrounded by loved ones. In reality, many individuals will be alone based upon the shift in family structures. The differences in generations can slowly build a divide or gather with respect. Easter Sunday is supposedly a celebration, but for many it is not.
If we seriously consider the span from Good Friday and horrible death to Easter Sunday and ascension, it smacks of false perceptions for grieving and loss. Somehow the emotional bridge between the days needs to be extended for appropriate processing. Perhaps, if we focus on hope we will be able to take things in stride.
