What is the meaning
of these Holy Days,
this Festival which now
we enter on?
What ‘Passing Over’ are we witness to,
that once took place
and here is present, now?
We are the people walking through
the sea of Calvary, forgiven people who
are here set free.
We are the ones in whom He
passes, now,
from separation /’No !’
to union /’Yes !’
For all our gathered SIN of
all our gathered world
is passing over him
in waves of death,
until, emerging, he accomplishes
his exodus, and ours, to unity
where all can breathe new breath
of life in Him,- can be again.
We pass with him, from our ‘world’ to the Father’s.
