For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Thomas Bergersen of TSFH, titled ‘Empire of Angels’:
Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Top Image: Is a fantasy scene featuring two gigantic trees on either side of a canyon, with a winding river at the bottom. There are two figures in swings, hanging from a large section of tree-growth that spans like a bridge across the canyon. Rivulets of water are streaming out from underneath one of the huge trees, cascading down the canyon wall.
In the distance, what looks like an early morning haze covers the landscape, with the golden glow of sun coming up. There is another giant tree in the distance, beside what appears to be a castle. Smaller trees and dense vegetation cover the surrounding hills. Second Image: Is a stone pathway leading up to an arched double doorway. The doors are set into what looks like bark at the base of a giant tree trunk. The doors have intricate carving and some small blue glowing lights, embedded in the carved design. In the foreground, the path begins under a tunnel-like growth of trees and dense vegetation…then opens up into rays of light shining down onto the path at the doorway. Third Image: Is a covered deck overlooking treetops and an expanse of large tree-covered hills. It is a comfy looking open room with sunlight streaming in. There is a green couch across from a metal wood-burning heater. Large bark-covered branches support the ceiling. It is a sunny view, with a lingering haze between some of the hills. Fourth Image: Is President Trump walking up to the Marine One helicopter. He is saluting the Marine who is standing at attention beside the chopper stairs, saluting his President. The President is wearing his long dark topcoat.

Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Top Image: It is the base of a huge majestic Tree, with a lovely carved door. The door is arched at the top with a carved frame around it. There is a wide path of stone steps leading up to the doorway. Lush green growth surrounds the Tree, with mounds of different flowers growing up from around the Tree’s massive, exposed roots. Round lanterns are hanging from a few of the Tree’s branches, giving off a soft light. Butterflies are visiting the flowers…and a long-tailed pheasant is flying up from a mound of flowers. Second Image: Is a cozy, soft lit room with a large tree trunk in the center. There are comfy-looking couches and a coffee table with a wooden chess set. Beside them is a bent-wood rocker with shearling throw on it. In the background, there is a table and chairs. Third Image: Is President Trump sitting at his desk in the Oval Office. He is on the phone, saying something, and has a serious look on his face. The desktop is covered with stacks of folders and papers. Between the stacks sits a glass of what is probably Diet Coke. Video Image: Is a white wolf standing on a precipice, looking out over a fantasy scene of a valley with a winding lake at the bottom. There is what looks like a giant moon in the night sky…but it is not our moon because it has a ring in orbit around it. In the distance are snow-covered mountains. The giant moon has sections that look to be breaking off of it. Bottom Image: Is from Inauguration Day. President Trump is standing face to face with HusseinO and has his hand on the usurper’s shoulder. Our President has a curious look on his face that looks like a mixture of resolve and disdain.

Wait…’Easter Monday’?
Yes, Easter Monday. It’s a thing. It is referred to as “Easter Monday” on the White House site that gives us a history of the annual Easter Egg Roll:
The White House Easter Egg Roll officially dates back to 1878 and the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes, but first-hand accounts suggest that informal festivities began with egg-rolling parties under President Abraham Lincoln. Starting in the 1870s, Easter Monday celebrations on the U.S. Capitol’s west grounds grew so popular that President Ulysses S. Grant signed a bill that banned the rolling of eggs on Capitol grounds, citing landscape concerns. [emphasis mine]
In 1878, a group of bold children walked up to the White House gate, hoping to be allowed to play egg-rolling games there. President Hayes told his guards to let the children enter, and soon Easter Monday on the White House grounds became an annual tradition. President Benjamin Harrison added music to the festivities in 1889 with the United States Marine Band.

These are the traditional wooden Easter Eggs that will be given out this year:
The custom to receive a wooden Easter egg when leaving the event began in 1981 — an idea instituted by First Lady Nancy Reagan — and became a keepsake cherished by guests that donned the signature of the President and First Lady.
Today, the 141st White House Easter Egg Roll will be hosted by First Lady Melania Trump and President Donald J. Trump.

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition Mix from the artist known as Fearless Motivation, titled “Resilience”:
Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Top Image: Is President Trump, at last year’s Easter Egg Roll, seated at a table and surrounded by children. He has a fatherly look on his face, is holding a pen and saying something to one of the children. It was chilly for last year’s event, so he is wearing a dark top coat and the children are wearing jackets. Second Image: Is a black and white photo of the White House grounds, during the Easter Egg Roll in 1923. There is a large crowd of children and adults in period clothing. It is a sunny day but must have been chilly, since they are all wearing sweaters and coats. Third Image: Is a picture of five brightly painted wooden Easter Eggs, made to commemorate this year’s Easter Egg Roll. The solid colored green, pink, gold, red and blue eggs have a glossy finish. The gold one bears the Presidential Seal and the others have a picture of the White House, each identified with the year and name of the event. Fourth Image: Is a view of the White House during last year’s event. It is shot through the flowering cherry trees and tulip trees and shows the crowd that has gathered on the grounds. It was overcast that day. Fifth Image: President Trump is walking away from Marine One helicopter on the White House lawn. He is wearing a long topcoat and looks deep in thought. There is a Marine standing at attention beside the steps of the chopper. Beyond Marine One is a fountain in full spray and in the distance is the Lincoln Memorial. Sixth Image: Is a moving gif showing a Polar Bear who is so exhausted that his head and shoulders are down on the ice…but his hind end is in the air and he is pushing himself along with his back legs. This appears underneath “Yes, it’s Monday.” Bottom Image: Is a picture of a tan bag with a clear plastic window showing the delicious-looking coffee beans inside. Beside it is a navy blue coffee mug filled with coffee, with a large ‘Q’ on it. The coffee bag has the word “Quality” above the clear window, with a large smoky ‘Q’ in a different font than the other letters. Below the window is the word “Covfefe”.

Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Top Image: Is a gigantic Tree reaching up into white fluffy clouds. Rays of the sun are emerging through the clouds and are streaming through the Tree’s leafy canopy and massive branches. There are wisps of clouds around the lower sections of the Tree’s giant trunk. Second Image: Is a view of a winding stone path surrounded on each side by a thick growth of a variety of colorful flowers. The path leads to an arched doorway with double doors. There is an ornate metal gate as an outer cover for the doorway. More flowers and lush green ivy completely surround the doorway on all sides. Third Image: Is a rounded open room-sized viewing deck, looking out over tree tops. There is a cushioned S-shaped seating console in the center of the room, with lots of throw pillows. Round cushioned ottomans are positioned against it, fitting into the concave sections of it’s S-shape. Towards the outer edge of the deck is a small fire pit in the center of a round cushioned bench. There is free-form railing around the outer edge of the deck. Fourth Image: Is a back view of President Trump striding across the White House lawn. His posture suggests that he is deep in thought. He is in a long dark topcoat with his arms at his side. Bright sunlight creates a long shadow trailing behind him.

Happy Easter, Mr. President! Hope you get some rest.
This topic is a conversation about revenge (vengeance) as seen from the perspective of those who desiring to live in a way that is pleasing to the King of all the universe–as revealed in the Hebraic and Christian traditions.
This is an exercise that all can join in on since we are not adopting a belief system–we are simply asking questions of a known set of writings and the historical response to those writings.
There is a certain sweetness to the thought of revenge.
❝You’ve got an over-developed sense of vengeance.❞
❝I want my father back.❞
“Is very strange. I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it’s over, I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life” — Inigo Montoya
And also a certain emptiness to the consummation of revenge.
To the Christians at least, may I ask, if we believe we are subjects of a Heavenly King, whose symbol is a lamb slain before foundation of world–what place does revenge hold in our lives?
If this Heavenly King indeed has been revealing himself to us from the creation of our species and the record has been preserved through the descendants of Abraham, and has been adopted by Christians through the written scriptures, it would be fair to explore both those writings and traditional reflections on them in pursuit of the answer to this question. (Read early teachings here.)
I’m not going to offer any long commentary here, just quotes from the scriptures. I find meditating on these words to be difficult. I don’t want my enemies to get away with their evil deeds (God says they won’t), but somehow it would seem “better” if I could just see they were getting what they deserved … right now.
And so this topic is difficult. But appropriate perhaps for holy week this year. T*3
❝Come, let us worship Christ the Lord,
who for our sake endured temptation and suffering.❞
Though harshly treated, he submitted and did not open his mouth; Like a lamb led to slaughter or a sheep silent before shearers, he did not open his mouth.
“But, you, O Lord of hosts, O just Judge,
searcher of mind and heart, Let me witness the vengeance you take on them,
for to you I have entrusted my cause, O Lord my God!”
If possible, on your part, live at peace with all. Beloved, do not look for revenge but leave room for the wrath;
for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” Rather, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; …”
When he broke open the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered
because of the witness they bore to the word of God. They cried out in a loud voice, “How long will it be, holy and true master,
before you sit in judgment and avenge our blood
on the inhabitants of the earth?”
“You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.”
“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy.But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.
— Matthew 5:43-45
Now the time has come for this world to receive its sentence;
now the prince of this world will be driven out.
Jesus, the beginning and end of our faith, endured the cross,
heedless of the shame, and is seated now at the right hand of the throne of God.
