Celia relishes the prospect of the ordinary: the wait for the train, the interminable commute, the office routine—all welcome after the hullabaloo of a week filled with special days and the extraordinary currents of joy, suffering, doubt, and celebration they bring.
Like the earth, we struggle to be fully alive, though, when we are, it’s exhausting.

Easter week was pretty busy for me too, but when the day itself comes I experience a real joy !!!………I went to church on Good Friday and was glad that I did. ……….Now, I too am looking forward to a more regular week and weeks ahead.
Celia says
Thank goodness there is still more to American life than capitalism! I believe in entering into the spirit of the holidays and giving them their due.
Thanks, Harley!
