Death, Weeping Woman, Self


For many Christians, today is Ash Wednesday. It is the beginning of Lent / Lenten where one cuts out certain foods, fasts and purifies in preparation for the resurrection of Easter. Death is the theme of Jesus and his victory over death for the next 40 days.

The woman holds her head as in deep reflection, under the weeping willow tree. Is she laughing or crying. They are the same, just different polarity. We can laugh so hard we cry and cry so hard that we begin to laugh. What great release comes from this.

The cosmic Self tells us to look at the big picture. I often think of the cycles of life, death and rebirth at this time. Saturday was mid point between the winter solstice and spring equinox. The countdown to spring has begun, the rebirth of the earth. I pray that we become more green with each day, honoring our Mother Earth.

Contemplate your Self/self. Get perspective by seeing the big picture. Cut out that which no longer works for you and fill yourself with Spirit.

You are loved and blessed.
