How do you know?
One of the things about blogging is that
you can't tell if you're ignoring somebody
or not . How do know if somebody has
said something new to an old post without
going all the way back through the whole blog?
Also, how much of the whole blog stays up?
10 days? 2 days?
Finally, the type on my blogsite at home looks
terrible. Just one long skinny column running doen the page
about no wider than Spinflys little toe. The pictures look fine
though. And finally, there is no spell checker on here.
...and I'm too lazy to write it in my email before posting it.
Other than that, how's things? What's everybody doing
for Easter? What does everybody think of Easter.

the blog automaticly archives itself after 7 days. that can be changed in the controle pannel, but it think that 7 days is a fine number.
Yeah, me too.
That way, if you don't get what you have to say
up in a week, you're out of time.

Right! What I think of Easter is much like what I think of Christmas. I'm not in it for the "Actual" reason, meaning that I don’t celebrate those holidays with in the religious reasons they are established.
I tend to like to celebrate them for family the family element. I love my family and everyone in it, extended, related or not. And I love to take these holidays to spend time with them.
Well then Spin, you may have the most ancient
understanding of those Holidays.
Christmas comes around the time of the
winter solstace. The shortest day and the longest
night..."the dead of winter" so to speak.
In ancient times, we needed each other most
in that season... all the way up to the
vernal equinox when the weather starts
getting warmer, the plants come back, the snow
melts and our environment is "resurrected."
We can go back out and play, survive on our own.
Thus, it's historically not just a time to decide to
be with family (and tribe) you had to do it, or you
wouldn't survive. Share the food, share the shelter,
share the fire...wait for the sun to come back.
Easter is the first "Sun" day after the first full moon
after the vernal equinox.
Those were pretty signifant and mysterious times
for ancient people. And they didn't have a clue as
to why it was happening. So they made up religion
to explain it. As one religious society conquered
another they kept layering one mythology over
another until hardly anything makes sense
anymore. It's how you get to rabbits who lay eggs,
for example. But you can see how Easter came
to symbolize coming back from the dead, because
that's what happens, every year around Easter
in the Northern Hemisphere. Below the equator
its all different and they have different myths.
Our western culture all comes from mythologies
north of the equator.
I never thought of it that way before pops, "Easter came
to symbolize coming back from the dead" I dont honestly give much credit to the worship of jesus in my beliefs. To put such a simbolic view on such a natural occurance, makes a lot of sence.
