Easter People (excerpt)

(April 12, 2009)

 

We are all an Easter people,

even if not religious in any particular way

or perhaps not at all.

 

The Christians tend to celebrate Easter-peopled-ness,

not in any proud or holier-than-thou manner,

but as an optimistic promise

resurrection-claiming

Holy Week unwinding

Lent minimizing

kind of way.

 

But, we are all an Easter people,

at least we Canadians

save those in Victoria or Point Pelee.

 

Everywhere else, in this often frigid place,

and some of those Scandinavian places too,

Siberia maybe, and Greenland (ha!),

we and they are Easter people...
