hope springs eternal


Yes, the Island Easter Bunny came. And the pagan roots of the holiday were made real by the fecundity of the first warm sunny day. The grass seed I planted germinated. The air is sweet. And the closest I got to church was watching the seals and their pups play behind St Ann's By the Sea.

  1. Get this: in France the Easter Bunny does not exist. Chocolate eggs and and Easter Egg Hunts do exist. So you start asking: Where do the eggs come from if there's no Bunny? Well, the bells of all the churches in Rome fall silent during lent--and THEN on EASTER they (the bells!!) fly through the air and drop eggs in all the gardens all over the earth. SO, here, in the run-up to Easter we have huge chocolate bells every where you turn. Oh Brother.
