As the menacing, dark storm clouds moved off to the east, they were replaced by blazing sunlight and a vibrant, rich rainbow which spanned the gap between the passing darkness and the new light in its place. The connection was both breath-taking and powerful to witness. Our lives can become threatened and drenched by darkness and adversity. A nagging depression or anxiety disorder can do it to us. So can such things as a medical diagnosis, relationship breakup, marital separation/divorce, or a bereavement.

Others offer their support to those immersed in their own `trials' of loneliness, loss, abandonment, and persecution. It can take our breath away to have people stand beside us `when the going gets tough' or to witness the various ways in which people rebuild their lives from shattered dreams and the depths of despair. The Christian festival of Easter is a celebration of Resurrection...the power of life over death, light over darkness, and hope over despair. Our world is full of what Joyce Rupp calls those "little Easters", in which we are surprised by experiences of beauty, relief, care, concern, friendship, love, and courage. Such experiences renew and uplift us, give new life to parts of us that have died, and they are indeed good for our emotional health. They are waiting to be recognized, named and celebrated. Happy Easter everyone! john postons M.S.W. lation and betrayal.

Our world is full of incredible stories of human resilience, strength, and hope in the face of adversity.
