Easter

"I am the spring, the holy ground,
the endless seed of mystery,
the thorn, the veil, the face of grace,
the brazen image, the thief of sleep,
the ambassador of dreams, the prince of peace.
I am the sword, the wound, the stain.
Scorned transfigured child of Cain.
I rend, I end, I return.
Again I am the salt, the bitter laugh.
I am the gas in a womb of light, the evening star,
the ball of sight that leads that sheds the tears of Christ
dying and drying as I rise tonight." -- Patti Smith, "Easter"

Whatever Spring welcoming holiday you may be celebrating this weekend, I hope it's joyful and relaxing.

I have replaced the link to Cool Hand Bak (which has not been updated since the end of January) with a new discovery. Drop by I Am Fuel, You Are Friends, and say hi to Heather. While you're there, be sure to locate her Jeff Buckley tribute.
