Easter Greetings--This morning I looked at a variety of poems that would be appropriate for anyone and everyone on Easter Sunday, regardless of religious background. The essence of Easter is deliverance and the experience of renewed life and beyond that, eternal life. Those phrases can be interpreted in vast ways; in Christianity those ideas are held in the sacred story of the resurrection. Yet life also offers us the moments of resurrection that are held in each day as this poem by Mary Oliver illuminates. (Susan Nettleton)
