Today everyone is talking about “The Rapture” and my brother and I wondered about its meaning, the word itself.
Rapture.
1. overwhelming happiness: a euphoric transcendent state in which somebody is overwhelmed by happiness or delight and unaware of anything else
2. mystical transportation: a mystical experience in which somebody believes he or she is transported into the spiritual realm, sometimes applied to the second coming of Jesus Christ, when true believers are expected to rise up to join him in heaven
3. state of great happiness or enthusiasm: a state of great happiness or enthusiasm about something, or words and gestures that express this
Perhaps we can all have a moment of rapture, if you can find something that brings you overwhelming happiness and delight and become unaware of anything else, just immerse yourself in an activity that you forget all things.
For me, it can be in nature or quilting or even reading a really good book, it can be small moments when you are totally present with someone, where only the two of you exist and times slips away.
While some may call this the end of the world, perhaps it is the beginning, the moment in time where only rapture is felt.
