“Dawning: An Existentialist Easter”

Dr. Jean Heinrich, practicing clinical psychologist and musician, humbled human being:

“I’ve been struggling with how to embrace existentialism and Easter in our pandemic zeitgeist. Like all existentialists, realizing it’s a personal thing, I’ve landed on Dawning.   Dawning, beginning, becoming, actualizing.  Remember Camus’ writing (Return to Tipasa), “In the middle of winter, I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.”  Invincible, a strange word to use in the midst of our virus humbling vulnerability, and yet highlighting the power of the human spirit in our ability, as free agents, to choose kindness, generosity, courage.”
