Easter Day! Sunrise in the garden.

Easter Day, my favourite one of the year.   
Took a stroll up the garden at 6.30 am. 
It was irresistable. 
The day when the proclamation 
"Christ has died!
Christ is risen!
Christ will come again!
Alleuia!"
echoes around the churches throughout the world. 

I came across this beautiful poem the other day by
E E Cummings, which speaks of renewal
 
  " I thank God for this most amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a 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 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)"

Happy Easter!
