Today was heavier, denser, weightier, than usual. Some days weigh more than others! Some days are blues songs, others-jazz their way into being.

Today was like a Raymond Carver (american writer) story in slow motion. Still, i trust tomorrow will be a bit more Whitmanesque! More a book of dreams than nightmares (Galway Kinnel). A bit less Lamentations, and more gospel. But, everyday has it’s own type of song, we each have to sing, embody or carry in our own ways.

Today’s, after counseling a friend through some weightier issues, felt more like Anselm Kiefer’s paintings, than Chagall’s, so to speak.

Today’s song was certainly played on a Saxophone—en-toned in blue, as Saxophones are want to. But just behind blue is yellow, at least in my spirit’s pallet. Lament and joy are somehow tethered to the same poll.

Yet, Easter’s levity continues, despite the weight of the times….bless you all in the bearable lightness of being today friends! His burden is Light, as a friend reminded me today! (Sort of meaning He carries the density of the whole color spectrum on His Own Shoulders, so we can still enjoy them daily! He’s our filter, and weight lifter, daily!) We wear clothes of praise to elevate, despite the weight of glory.
