Today is, for many, a day without irony. It is a day one can see not just daylight through cracks in tomb doors, but can look back into what was their tomb from the satisfying light of a new dawn.
These patterns of light and dark, day and night, life and death happen so regularly that they’re almost not worth mentioning. Except, they are.

I’m so glad that was the case, Anne-Elizabeth! The “Alleluia” mantra has such a beautiful resonance to me, and I was happy to pass it (and the lovely message that accompanied it) along to whomever might also find it perfect Easter medicine. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Sophia’s Children!
