“I arise today, through the strength of Heaven; light of Sun, brilliance of Moon, splendor of Fire, speed of Lightning, swiftness of Wind, depth of Sea, stability of Earth, firmness of Rock.”

From “The Deer’s Cry”

  1. One of the best parts of Easter/Pascha(Orthodox Christian term) celebrations for me is hearing the announcement of the Resurrection in many languages. The conquering of death by the God-man is for all people.

  2. Re fairy tales, I (also) was one who thought it sometimestoo cruel for kids until I came across a book “The Uses of Enchantment -The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales” by Bruno Bettelheim and now I indiscriminately read fairy tales to my 3 children. (Before I knew this though, I thought I was doing the right thing. An example of how knowledge is power.)

    During the church sermon last Sunday I was reminded how dreadful it all must have been for Jesus to have been betrayed, denounced, mocked by the crowds and beaten to an inch of his life even before he was crucified. What utter courage to accept reality and to stand for what you believe in. And what a victory!

  3. Praying for peace, health and happiness for my Solari Family, Happy Easter! Love, Jennifer
