For all who celebrate Easter
Who praise spring’s freedom
Rebirth
Renewal
Restoration of new hopes and
Fresh possibilities.
May it be a day of close connection
Of bonding
Great fun
Much affection.
May it a day to celebrate
New life
In all its forms
The delicate
The Playful
The endlessly adorable beginnings
Of little ones commencing
A first path
And of the new paths
For us all
Unfurling alongside.




Thanks for this refreshing approach to a day overwhelmed by religion in this part of the country. The Tennessee daffodils carefully carried here by my aunt have broken ground with their green spears, and soon will bloom up here on the Plateau. The last vestiges of snow, dirty with road sand and cinders have gone at last, and today I saw a Pileated Woodpecker!

How lovely re: the daffodils! It is always thrilling and more than a little awe-inspiring to see the green shoots barreling their way through hardened earth, determined to seek and find the sun …
There are so many meanings–across cultures and time–for this time of renewal and rebirth. I am sure just about anyone can find some meaning in it, regardless of their official (or unofficial) faith and spiritual practice. It is not about Passover or Easter per se, but about the lively bubbling of this time which makes spring so effervescently energizing and inspiring.
