I can swear that it was not there the previous day.<\/p>\n
Just that morning… almost out of nowhere… a lily came into bloom.<\/p>\n
It is the very first lily in my garden.<\/p>\n
Like I said, it happened on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. And lilies are the special flower of Easter.<\/p>\n
As if that was not enough, that same morning I also noticed another new bloom, shadow hidden in a garland clump of green : a baby Anthurium… just a little flower, deep pink-white emerging from the dark and stretching itself sunwards.<\/p>\n
Some days earlier, from their nesting mother plants, six Heliconia emerged too, making slow stately differently timed announcements of their arrivals.<\/p>\n
I did not make the connection then.<\/p>\n
On Holy Saturday morning I did… and I smiled in wonder.<\/p>\n
Looks like they all knew… nature knew like it always does.<\/p>\n
All of nature knew that something momentous was happening, to make the earth whole-healed and alive again.<\/p>\n
A resurrected re-awakening spring… effervescent, invigorating, vitalizing… a refreshingly spiritual spring.<\/p>\n
He is risen like he said he would<\/p>\n
and the glory of his resurrection<\/p>\n
breath-sweeps across the earth<\/p>\n
making it come alive with him.<\/p>\n

See what I mean?<\/p>\n
The Easter lily resurrection-dances, emerging from the gloom tomb darkness background<\/p>\n
spreading its transforming radiant glory across stained, dry scarred, residual discard surrounds.<\/p>\n
We join in the dancing, we dance with the risen Lord, the alleluia dance of triumph and peace.<\/p>\n
There is music in the attachment for the dancing. In spirit I will join in the dancing with you….<\/p>\n
Alleluia celebrations<\/p>\n
and peace blessings…<\/p>\n
to you!<\/p>\n
Lots of love,<\/p>\n
