Here we are nearing the end of the Octave of Easter 2023. During the second reading of the Vigil, I sensed a deep awareness of being walked with into some deeper level. This lasted perhaps 3 days – oh, what joy, delight, affirmation. Though I do know in the deepest part of me this Presence continues this walking (called Resurrection 2023); indeed as witnessed, the stone from the tomb has been rolled away. It’s the “log in my eyes, the stone in my heart, removed and rolled away” that sent me into that obscure place, called doubt or fear of judgment; perhaps the place of the unaccepted self that stands in the way, perhaps, my Jonah kind of hiding place. It’s a long walk into the Resurrection. In chronos years its been a long long walk for me begun in 1934, two months old. So, from this obscure hiding place, I am willing, consenting, open, surrendering, trusting – this walk of 40 chronos days 2023; so grateful to be on this walk with all of you.
