Veiled Light Puppetry by J. Ping
Dear Friends,

May this season of Spring bless you all with renewal! With each blooming flower and trilling birdsong, April gifts us with so many opportunities for astonishment… and the bowing of our heads. Gratitude is called for as blades of green rise from the dark earth - a symbol of hope to meet adversarial challenge in the world. 

In a study of the esoteric significance of the Easter Festival, Steiner states: “The entire soul-destiny of humanity has been crucified upon the cross of materialism… we must realize with full and clear consciousness that super sensible knowledge needs to arise from this grave…” * Truly, when united with this seeking of the sacred, there lies transformation. Within the gifts that imagination, inspiration, and intuition bring, we strive to nurture these seeds of transformational potential. They are planted within each story we tell and puppet show we ensoul ~ increasingly when love of children and community are inherently present.
