Between Good Friday & Easter
March 22, 2008 by Elaine
A chilly, bright morning in my part of the world. Sharp, clear and quiet. Ideal conditions for contemplating sorrow and joy, fear and courage, death and life — events and emotions that are not always distinct and sequential, but often occur so closely together, they seem to co-exist. And then one feels a bit mixed-up — or maybe it’s just me. This is the {gardener’s} difficulty when the Spring Equinox and the Paschal Triduum occur within the same week.
Despite the photos below — I cannot ignore Spring’s gifts completely today; maybe I’m wrong but for me this would be dishonest and wasteful — I’m not ready for Easter celebration. My mind needs to dwell here, here and here for part of today. A necessary change of focus.
Beautiful photographs and words. Thank you for the link.
beautiful, honest, heartfelt. thank you.
No more needs to be said! Happy Spring-time!
Thank you, all. I arrived back from Easter weekend with my Mom and read your lovely comments. I hope you also had a blessed Easter Sunday.
