Waking from
Sleep
Life is filled with tragedy and celebration, fullness and emptiness,
sadness and joy. Moving within these extremes is a part of what it means
to be human - to be alive. What is tragic is living without awareness,
without alertness, remaining asleep
in the midst of the movement of creation. That land of absent being
can slowly sap the strength of life away....
Resurrection
is about this waking from sleep. Becoming aware. Becoming attentive.
Opening up. Giving in to curiosity. Seeing everything, feeling everything
as if for the first time. And life is experienced anew.
--from "Waking
from Sleep"
