One of the reasons we're sometimes deeply restless and frustrated is that our life is often out of sync with its proper spirit.  We haven't let Pentecost happen.

            Pentecost is part of a cycle of life that has five moments: Good Friday, Easter, The Forty Days, Ascension, and Pentecost.  We understand Pentecost only when it's seen as the culmination of the other four moments.  It works like this: On Good Friday, life is lost; on Easter, new life is received; during the Forty Days, the disciples adjust to a new presence of Jesus; at the Ascension, the disciples let go of the Jesus they once had; and at Pentecost, they receive a new spirit for the life they're now living.

            And that's the cycle, too, within our own lives.  We need, constantly, to accept our deaths, receive new life that's given to us, grieve our losses, let go of the old, and then receive the spirit for the actual life we're living.

            Pentecost is an ongoing, lifelong mystery: We suffer many losses - loss of youth, loss of health, loss of loved ones, loss of wholeness, and the loss of countless things that are precious to us.  Yet, we're never dead!  We're always given new life.  But if we are trying to live that new life with our former spirit, we will find ourselves deeply out of sorts.  We need Pentecost, daily, in our lives.  It harmonizes our life with its proper spirit.
