I love the connection to Lazarus and highlighting the way of being in the world is of "added time", nothing to earn, nothing to save for but the present. "I have lived a full life and am already dead." Scripture to live by from our first day on Earth!
Love this, Garrett. I've been thinking about the word "harvest." May 1 was Beltane, the sacred seasonal day celebrating the midpoint of spring. I was prompted to think about what I want to harvest this year. I like the word "harvest" because, to me, it implies I've already been working, planting seeds, growing — I have everything I need — and now it's time to harvest and enjoy the fruits of my labor. The last paragraph of this essay, especially, resonated with me. Thank you for your offering! :)
