Easter: "He Is Among Us"
Sound a trumpet through all the earth.
Our Morning Star is alive!
Risen in splendour, He is among us;
The darkness is driven back.
We, His people, join in the dance of all creation.
-- An Easter prayer
from the Celtic Christian Northumbrian Community
I called through your door,
"The mystics are gathering
in the street. Come out!"
"Leave me alone.
I'm sick."
"I don't care if you're dead!
Jesus is here, and he wants
to resurrect somebody!"
-- Rumi (A.D. 1207 - 1273),
from The Essential Rumi by Coleman Barks

Drove up the Northumbrian coast yesterday and looked across to Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands, bathed in sunshine.
...and may Easter be a blessing to you this year! May the Spirit of the Risen Christ be known within your heart of hearts!
