This day being one of the most significant in the Christian Calendar, it is time for renewal. Happy Easter everyone!
It is difficult, though, to achieve any form of newness unless we discard the old. Declutter the soul.
And how do we do that? We put in a little effort, hard as it is, to forgive trespasses. We try to set new goals.
We shift perspectives when our mindsets need refreshing. In short, we do a little mental decluttering.
Let's usher in the new and throw the old away this Easter, at least in our minds. Again, a brilliant Easter, all!
Tiny egg arrives
It cracks in the rising sun
Newborn emerges
Newborn tries vainly
To crack the eggshell but cannot
Ignore brokenness
Newborn emerges
Cannot crack shell so
Moves its little head.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
