On occasion, my friends have commented that my mind sometimes has a way of seeing things with a unique twist. The subject of this blog might be a case in point. Thinking ahead on the Resurrection and the empty tomb, this thought came to me.
Perhaps the empty tomb is an apt symbol for that inner space within oneself which holds the memory of hurts now healed. There’s no denying the reality of painful experiences. In truth, the journey to healing is one’s own resurrection experience. Through healing, the painful memories are quieted but not forgotten. We are set free from their hold on us. We find ourselves more alive. Such is the Good News we can celebrate this Easter.
