Easter is celebrating the resurrection of the Christ! Jesus came as
a teacher and example for us to emulate. He was LOVE and still is
LOVE as He is Eternal just as LOVE is Eternal. We humans are the
examples of LOVE to each other and LOVE is the strongest energy on
Earth. Nothing can withstand against it.
Today is Good Friday and as a child, I use to be in mourning
between noon and 3PM in order to be one with Jesus. I wouldn’t do
anything I liked to do and I wouldn’t eat, drink or be merry. Well,
Jesus is much alive as we venerate the sacrifice he made so we would
know how much He loved us. I no longer believe that you must be sad
and downfaced on Good Friday. Jesus gave us a beautiful and precious
gift. When someone gives you a gift, do you cry and mourn? It
pleases the giver to see you enjoy the gift that was just given to you.
I hold this sacrifice in my heart and my thoughts all day yet these
only strengthen my gratitude for what he did. He came to show us
how to LOVE and we are not expected to experience crucifixation. Jesus
did so we wouldn’t have to.
In fact, I wish to share my joy with you today. You’ll never guess
what I did this afternoon? I went kayaking!!!! The lake is all
thawed or so I thought. The part that I could see was all melted
and the geese and ducks are enjoying it. This morning when I got
up and looked out, the lake was like glass reflecting all the
houses across the water and the sky above. It was only 35 degrees
but I was thinking how great it would be to kayak. I know better as
it is much colder than it looks. Around noon, I looked out and I
suddenly had an urge to go uncover my kayak and maybe I could
just put it in the water, sit in it and the water could rock me.
By now it was 55 degrees, the sun was out but so was the wind. I do
not usually go out when it is windy as one day I was one inch from
being toppled and capsized by a sudden gust of wind. In fact, I
cracked a rib because of all the strength it took to keep the kayak
from completely turning over. I vowed Never Again so I have a deep
respect for the wind. As I was pondering this jaunt, I decided I
was at least going to launch the kayak for the year. I usually am
the first kayak in the water so I officially baptize the lake and I
am usually the last one in November or December so I tuck my lake
into the folds of winter.
The wind died down except for when I was trying to launch my kayak.
I was laughing because the wind came up and would not let me get
away from the shore. The water is low right now as the boards on
the dam have not been put in to raise the water height in the lake.
I kept trying to paddle but it would push me back to where the kayak
would stick in the sand. It was funny and if anyone was watching,
it made a good sitcom. I finally had to keep digging my oars in the
mud to push me further and further. I decided I would stay only in
my slight cove like area but once I got out in the water, I wanted
to see what was going on in my lake.
I stayed close to shore because the water is still freezing cold
to the touch. Just because it is thawed does not mean our human
bodies would not be in danger if we got dunked. I kept singing to
myself: “I’m in Heaven, I’m in Heaven”. I really was because there
is nothing like the first time of feeling your body rocking with
the motion of the water and with a kayak, you are not on top of the
water, you are inside of it so it is a totally different feeling.
I was so full of gratitude and this jaunt is a reminder to me why I
won’t sell even if I have to survive the winter. It feels so joyous
just as when you experience the first bud bloom on your flowers. I
kept rowing and when I got to the two coves that I love to explore,
they were blocked by ice. I have never been out in the water this
soon and so I always thought that when the ice in front of my house
thawed, the whole lake would be thawed. To my surprise, that was not
true. I certainly did get an Easter surprise when I saw that. What
an experience I had to be able to go up to the ice that was blocking
me. It was quite a visual surprise also. The transient ducks that
stop over to feed on their journey were there and I think they were
surprised to see anyone or anything out on the water. 6 ducks at a
time, they would fly away although I was not even close. Finally
only a pair of them slowly moved away. They don’t let you get close
and that is why I use binoculars especially inside the house as I
can get a better view of them when they come close to shore and
even when they are further away.
I saw the geese from my binoculars but I did not see them today when
I was out on the water. I was woken during the night by a lot of
geese or ducks making a racket. I was going to get up to see then
realized it was dark so I would not be able to see them anyway. A
ruckus like that is rare but it did make me wonder. The lake has a
life of its own and even after 18 years of being here, I am still
surprised by what I see and hear.
Spring is here even if there is still snow on my lawn and ice on the
lake. My heart feels so full and I want to share that joy with you.
I did not go around the whole lake as I have to break in my arm
muscles and grow some calluses inside my thumbs. When I came back
the clouds started to come in and the water changed. I feel so
blessed by Mother Nature and although it was not 3PM yet, I felt
like Jesus had given me a priceless gift on Good Friday to let me
know and feel His LOVE.
I also would like to share this message with you so you know just
how important you are to me and to this world.
If your wondering how exactly you can effectuate the most change in
your life, in the world, and even at the universal level: Just
BE LOVE.
How, specifically, do you just BE LOVE?
You BE LOVE by refusing to fall into negativity or fear. It’s as
simple as that. Each time you override a thought of fear with LOVE,
each time you remember that ALL IS PERFECT AND WELL, you have won.
Then, remain in LOVE, call on LOVE, breathe LOVE in and out.
That is all.
Additionally, if you do this with intent to spread LOVE you multiply
the flow of adamantine particles which are controlled only by LOVE.
Similar to negative ions, these sacred particles release enormous
pressure on the earth & humanity by easing tension and soothing
strain. We simply can’t think of a better way to change your life
and the world.

This is one of my very favorite songs and it is so appropriate for
this season.

Have you noticed the pine trees lately? I know I have sent this
to you before but I still find this intriguing. The kids like to
look for this in the trees.
THE PINE TREES KNOW WHEN IT’S EASTER

I feel I need to apologize for my error in last week’s newsletter.
I wished you a Happy Hanukkah but I really meant Passover. It does
not matter what we call the celebration, the important thing is to
feel the LOVE, celebrate and share it with those you love. Thanks
for the understanding and compassion to someone who wishes you only
the best in this world. By the way, Happy Passover and Love to you
and your families.
Love and Light,
Mary Grace
