We are in the midst of a magical week, as Passover was this past weekend, and Easter is upon us this Sunday. Both are based on the full spring moon, yet they are calculated differently—a metaphor which is not lost on me in these somewhat discordant times. I love these holidays and feel ebullient celebrating both, a happy side effect of being raised with both Christian and Jewish influences.
My life has been enriched by these different ideas, values, and ways of believing: At first glance, different, but coming from the same root. At their core, Passover is about freedom, and Easter is about new life—two cousin sentiments closely related, both conjuring spring, at least for me. So here is to the energies of independence and renewal—to togetherness and tradition (if you like that sort of thing). I’m sending out love; chag sameach, and happy Easter.
Love,
Gwyneth
