In the spirit of today's wonderful reflection and Wendell Berry's "Manifesto," I offer up this short poem that I wrote a few years ago:

Awakening

by Peter Friedrichs

Waking from a dreamless sleep

I wonder: “Is that what death is like?”

And then, nipping at its heels

like a terrier intent on agitation,

comes the more urgent question:

“What will you do

with this day’s resurrection?”

If I had not walked away from more than one destructive situation I would not have become a resurrection spiritual midwife who enters into the pain and struggles of others. Thanks for this read this am. Easter is even more than 50 days. Resurrection is possible every moment 🙏
