Easter Morning!

The morning broke with gloom of an overcast sky: grey, damp, cold. “Se la vi,” for Easter. Life is what it is: riddled with gloomy mornings when your heart yearns for sunshine.

Gradually, while pouring the morning java, a diffused light bounced across the kitchen from the east door; not terribly bright, but enough to hint at the beaming glory hidden behind the clouds, a glory we often forget when the days are dull.

It’s now 8:00 am and the sky has yielded to a shining antithesis of morning gloom! I have to squint at the computer monitor to see what in heaven’s name I’m tapping out on the keyboard. A fitting climax to the Easter Vigil.

Enjoy the Easter day. However gloomy your skies may be, this is a day that reminds us the spirit has more power over darkness than we might think. Behind the gloom is a light waiting to shine in every corner.
