An Easter Prayer

An Easter Prayer (Esoteric Meaning of Christmas) Let not the sun rise so high that I may never again reach its light -- nor set so low that my spirit now resides in darkness, irretrievable but let me dwell peacefully, balanced, in a new body of humanity, a purified vessel, that of the risen Christ – live outright redeemed, one with God and His good angels, ever loving.

The middle course is the best suited stance... not too high or low..... with a kind of peaceful balancing to become ultimately a 'purified vessel' like the risen Christ. Your poem emphasizes the need for a renewal in spirit. Very deep dear Joe.

I find that the middle, balance, is my place in time, for I cannot reach nor comprehend the perfect, nor could I thrive in the depths of complete despair, isolated from my moderate sense of goodness. I survive and prosper only by the Loving Grace of God.

Life is far more complicated than most of us can image...and yet, so simple that a child can liken to its mystery.

Let not the sun rise so high that I may never again reach its light -- nor set so low that my spirit now resides in darkness, irretrievable---WOW! A FAVE for your reverent words dwelling in faith. Much depth you convey in these verses of prayer, my friend.
