Noli me tangere

Dear Readers,

«Noli me tangere»: ‹Don’t touch me›, or ‹Stop holding onto me›. Jesus said these words to Mary Magdalene after she recognized him on the day of the resurrection, after she mistook him - curiously - for a gardener.

What do we not yet see or recognize, and therefore cannot yet touch and connect with? Even if we do not yet have a solution to a conflict, it may be that one is already hovering in the surrounding space. Christ is the being that can unite us, help us overcome egoism and thus open the spiritual space in which we meet. Building this space on earth is our task.

With warm Easter greetings,

Charlie Cross and Gilda Bartel
