You, God, are a fire that always burns without consuming. You are a fire consuming in its heat every compartment of the soul’s self-absorbed love. You are a fire lifting all chill and giving all light. In Your light You show me Your truth. You’re the Light that outshines every light. You, God, give the mind’s eye Your divine light so completely and excellently, You bring lucidity even to the light of faith. In that faith, I see my soul has life, and in that light, I receive You who are Light itself.

Today has felt like a day of moving from the darkness of Lent and Holy Week to the welcome light of the Easter celebration, whether it was the joyful communion this morning, complete with April Fool's silly hats, or being with family, or joining with friends to celebrate a special birthday this evening.
It felt like a long time coming, and I worked a lot of night shifts this Lent. It felt like something which needed to be endured.
Here at the end I feel a sense of contentment and gratitude, especially for anyone who has walked this alongside me and read any of the blog posts- I still find it strange that people do!
I wish you all a blessed Eastertide and hope you feel a sense of the divine in the ordinary and the everyday.
