Passover honors the exodus of the Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt, their choice to leave the terrible known for the sake of the terrible unknown.

What have you walked away from, choosing to enter into the terrible unknown?

“What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.”
―Ralph Waldo Emerson

Which of your virtues has the world not yet discovered?

On Palm Sunday the crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem with a hero’s welcome. Only a few days later a crowd called for his violent death. Neither crowd imagined for a moment that more than 2000 years later one of the world’s great religions would center on the events of that week.

What helps you to see possibilities far outside of the obvious?

You might dress up for church, or for work, or for a date or a concert or a party. Or you might dress up so that you could match the beauty of what you see around you, or as preparation for the road ahead.

What sort of outfit best suits what you see before you?

“If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints; possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!”
―Søren Kierkegaard

What possibilities that you see before you charm and enchant you?
