Well, the Lenten season is winding down with an exciting time ahead for the next several days and many different celebrations occurring at the churches. If you are not participating within a church, perhaps you are celebrating in your own way the springtime of resurrection and renewal. Death to old ways and a new life with Spirit leading you along your chosen path. I have begun special meditations honoring this theme. To me, this is as good a time as the beginning of the new calendar year on January 1 to make distinct differences in the way I live. There is something inspiring about the blossoms bursting forth on the daffodils, thrift, forsythia, tulips, dogwoods, and many more. Yesterday lying in the hammock I saw not only the red seeds but also tiny new green leaves on the red maple tree limb above my hammock. With such obvious renewal, how can I NOT think of renewal of my Self? So what is changing? I am becoming - that's it. I'm still becoming. In spite of the many years gone by (I'll be 81 on Friday) my life seems to be always one of becoming. Becoming what? It's not always so well defined that I can express it in words. But it's still true. I'll meditate on that a bit. What AM I becoming? Ahhh, I AM THAT!
