The Sunshine Observer: SO… V23
Happy Easter One and All!
It’s a beautiful breezy day here on Sunshine Lane. The birds and bunnies are ever present enjoying the warm sun and new growth. The new seedlings seem to be adjusting well. We’re all grateful.
I planted 5 blue lake beans plants yesterday. 4 were planted on the inside of the teepee in the 4 directions. They were named respectively for the guardian angels for each direction, Raphael for the east, Miguel for the south, Gabriel for the west, and Uriel for the north. The 5th plant, was set on the outside of the teepee and it named itself Love.
Easter has different meanings for each of us. Especially in American culture, where there is a melding of old and new rituals. Looking back, in one Pagan ritual community members exchanged eggs as a symbol of fertility and to celebrate the longer days of spring moving to summer. Christians continue to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Commerce hails an opportunity to spend the all mighty dollar on things not good for us. My neighbor shoots his pistol at a target… It goes on in a beautiful mashup.
As we remember, many of our ancestors came to this country to escape religious persecution. Regardless of our individual beliefs we are lucky to be in a culture that celebrates the freedom to believe whatever rings true for each of us.
