Another Happy Easter



I don't blog much, but Easter always seems to inspire another post. I guess it's the hangover glow of another Babylonian Zoroastrian Persian No-Ruz/Navruz/Nowruz, drifting into Jewish Passover, with the lovely pagan Ostara lingering into the dawn of the Christian Easter. It's the general amazingness of this spring-is-so-definitely-here holiday heard around the world. Easter is the most important holiday in Christianity. Not Christmas. I'm just sayin'. But let's not get into that.

Let's just roll with Oestre. It's a little scary what with the goddess turning that wingless bird into a very fast hare that lays eggs. And then having to hide the eggs during the burning times. And it's also a little scary because Jacob is dead. But hope for resurrection springs eternal. Did you see the way Jack handed Sun that tomato of hope? Very J-man. He walks among us but is not one of us. But let's not get into that either.

Let's just keep the holiday simple, pure and joyful. The way Walt Disney intended.





Ahh, the mystery of it all. 
Hippity hop!
