This Easter felt good. I’m not sure if it was the priest’s homily, the presence of my family, the good vibrations of everyone in the church, or all of the above, but I felt very light and open upon leaving mass. I knew I had to meditate in that state! So I went home and meditated outside in the backyard. The open feeling remained, and the sounds of birds singing became the soundtrack to my stillness. 

It made me think about Easter, the experience Jesus went through, and how it can relate to us in our own lives.
