Resurrection

When I was in the heart of my divorce I remember going into public and thinking, “Don't these people know what my family and I are going through? They're walking around like everything is fine!”

While I didn't really believe that…that noone else was in crisis, it felt that way. 

Have you experienced this in the middle of your own crises?

I'm writing this just after attending an Easter sunrise service at the Cliff Lodge in Snowbird, Utah.

We were supposed to ride the tram to the top of the mountain for the service but there were maintenance problems and attendees were relegated to a Cliff Lodge conference room. 

I was dissappointed. We all were! That 5 am alarm hurt this morning…

And yet, the service was beautiful. And short, like the best services are . 

I sat down to have my own little devotional and read this: 

The resurrection is a description of how the universe self-corrects, life always reasserting itself even when forces of death and darkness have temporarily prevailed. Like a tiny flower growing through cracks in broken cement, peace of mind emerging at last after periods of deep grief, or people continuing to fall in love despite the ravages of war, love always gets the final say. To lean on the resurrection is simply to recognize what's true; that if happiness hasn't arrived yet, then the story isn't over.

-Marianne Williamson, The Alchemy of Easter

Yes! Seven years post-divorce the sun has broken through in every way. 

My four kids are now wonderful young adults. I'm engaged to be married this August to a beautiful soul. I live in immense gratitude for my marriage and all I learned from, and with, my former spouse. 

Yes I was dissappointed to race up Little Cottonwood Canyon a5 5:30 AM only to arrive and not be able to experience Easter sunrise from the summit…life can be like that. 

But the sun still rose, and the views are still epic. 

May we all today, and forever more, lean on the belief that if happiness hasn't arrived yet, then the story isn't over . 

Happy Easter friends,

-Jeremy
