Love explains it all

The full moon is the great symbol of Easter.  Maybe this is so because no matter what is happening on earth, nor where we are, we can all look up into the sky and easily see this sign of wonder and beauty, graciously reminding us that life goes on, even despite us.  

We can be a cruel lot, a selfish anomaly stuck in the midst of the beauty of creation, but none of that ultimately defines us, for we are defined by higher values.  Sounds good?  Some may simply say - Easter, so what?  Do I even get it?  To be honest, I get it so far, but then there is a huge gap in my understanding.  

I was just at yet another work meeting where ones think they are saving the world.  By this time in my life, I just tend to sit and watch, coming in at poignant moments of concern, thinking this is somewhat a theatre of the absurd..  

It is within this context of an absurd world, with all its divisions, conflicts and destruction, that it becomes challenging to fully capture and appreciate the ultimate goodness of the world.   What is this ultimate goodness?   I read it is love.  I agree, but surely not love on human terms.  

Of course, not!  It is love wihin the realm of the divine.  For is not God love?  Love for God is quintessentially expressed in creation.  So love creates, going out and making God's realm the realm of all, taking all into the embrace of the Divine.  So we are caught up in the love of God   Even in the midst of the absurd, love is all.  Love explains it all, at all times.
