Alleluia, He is risen! Alleluia!
I caught the Easter sunrise this morning along the East Coast Park and the early morning sun recharged my body as much as this weekend did my soul.
After my reflections this weekend, I think it can be summed up with 1 Corinthians 13: 13. "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love." I have faith that love with bring Easter's hope to each and every day.
And as I do every year, allow me to share my all-time favorite poem by e.e. cummings, perfect for Easter and for Every Day:
And as I do every year, allow me to share my all-time favorite poem by e.e. cummings, perfect for Easter and for Every Day:
i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a true blue dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any—lifted from the no
of all nothing—human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
