Pascha 2014

Another year, another Pascha celebration.

Easter never gets old, when celebrated rightly.

Fasting, prayer, loss

and then Resurrection!

Lately, whenever I feel that great void,

as though God were very far way, 

or not there at all,

 I have been reminding myself,

"You are never so far away as you think you are."

 Then I feel myself rush back into His presence.

There it is like a hot, breathless, summer day

--warm and encompassing.

When breathing swarms back,

Tears of joy fall.

Though I feel not worthy,

I almost feel as though I could be one of His saints

--someday.
