 Message for Weekend of April 4 & 5, 2026

• The Dance Goes On • Different theologians have different notions as to what Jesus's experiences may have been on the Saturday between the crucifixion and the resurrection. This year one symbol for the day is "a man being tortured" and we may well pray for all those persecuted or ill-treated around the world. That includes many Christians. Few are their defenders, though some strategists are "mounted on the top of a hill with sword in hand as if on the lookout." The world's work continues even on most holy days. Charubel says that agriculturists are profiting by their labors. Other individuals are "possessed with strange influences" such as familiars or spirit companions, whether demonic or saintly or angelic. Some have comfort and happiness without labor, as if "well favored cows grazing in a park in the shade of trees." Perhaps this is the glade in which "a youth, book in hand, wanders, while sunlight slants through the trees and falls upon the figure of the student." There is peaceful contemplation and Passive Beauty. The cosmic-human dance goes on, and "Brownies are dancing in the setting sun" to the music of Invigoration. There are moments of life's culmination, as depicted by "a harvest moon." This is "self-consummation successful beyond any possibility of measure." The keyword is Benediction. Saturday • The Dance Goes On • Moon in Scorpio Sunday 5th, Easter: I wanted to post as today's message something from the Gospel of John, but cannot choose from a wealth of profundity. I recommend reading something from Chapters 13-17, Jesus's moving final discourse to his disciples. "My words are spirit and life." Moon in Scorpio goes void-of-course at 2:30p PT until entering Sagittarius at 4:33p PT Cosmic Piper
