Renewal
Oh, Pesach. Pascal. Passover. Eggs and greens Pesach or Easter each with the Pascal lamb. I observe the moon waxing full harkening us to remember. To remember we were all slaves once. And we are all still enslaved in so many ways. We must cultivate imagination. Transformation occurs in practice, with creativity, compassion and receptivity.
