In addition to family gatherings and celebration, Easter has been a significant time of personal change for us, especially in recent years.
Following Easter celebrations with family two years ago, we left Switzerland and made our way across America, driving through 14 states in 33 days from Florida to California. Exactly a year later in 2019, we flew from California to Switzerland and celebrated Easter just before returning here.
On Good Friday today we would have been on our way to Zurich and back in Switzerland once again at Easter. Instead we will be here. But I will not think anymore about where we would have been rather where we would like to be moving forward.
Easter this year will be a chance to reflect on this time and experience as an awakening, to reimagine the possibilities not despite or within the confines of this collective situation but precisely because of and through it.
True to the season of spring and spirit of Easter, I would like to embrace resurrection, rebirth, and renewal. Best wishes for a rejuvenating and happy Easter. Enjoy, and I look forward to restarting with you here.
Happy Easter!
