 Remembrance, Rebirth, Release, Rejoice Sometimes extraordinary moments of black and white seem colored with time, until the shell cracks, then all that remains is jewel-toned in special capture, where skin to skin embeds prints of depth, drenched instantly warm in remaining haloes for this was back when most children had just two parents each, and simpler times were unpretentious perhaps, or because, we did not yet have the knowledge of all we might or should know. As in when is too much, much too heavy, as in when do our shoulders bear burdens of lives past, and when does the past choose to reinstate itself upon the innocent? If we choose to talk our histories, and in sharing bear the story, then in the story, hear the tale, and in the tale, acknowledge the losses… only the storytellers who listen to the leaves move in the wind who might gather up the cracked shells of time, then weave them gently into a necklace of honor, to leave among our young… is this gift of Easter... for somewhere in the egg is life, and rebirth… for in the renewal, it is they who will have their own stories to leave, but those without the past to draw upon, will have nothing but hollow promise… So rejoice in all who've loved you. ~*~ To those that read this… A Blessed Easter… A time of Remembrance, Rebirth, Release. In memory of Seymour Tabin, who commented with promise. [Revised, 3/22/08] |
