Festival bountiful

 

It has been one long festive weekend in my country. We celebrated the Regional New year, Easter and observed Maundy Thursday, Good Friday. All this, while the Muslim brethren were observing Ramadan.  As I mused on this I felt that the Universe has been so thoughtful. 

After two years of being cloistered at home, now all were out fasting, feasting and praying. Crowds thronged the religious places of worship. Each in his own space praying collectively. Good times are here to come. 

Interestingly the theme of the New Year and easter is harvest and resurrection. Nature and religions on the same theme- reap and sow, sow and reap. 

Every morning we have the choice to begin anew. 

Such festivals are beautiful reminders to begin anew lest we have forgotten. 

To thank for the bounty we have lest we have forgotten. 

To live in the moment lest we have forgotten!
