Convergence
This weekend is special.
It is a convergence
Easter, Ramadan, and Passover occur
on the same weekend.
Normally this convergence happens
three times a century,
Once every 33 years.
Easter the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus.
Passover, celebrates freedom, and liberation from slavery in Egypt.
Ramadan, celebrates Muhammad’s first revelation.
Our house directly neighbors
Three different churches.
The bells have been ringing
Doors wide open
And oh,
the feasting.
This weekend,
Minnesota
was kissed by spring
snow melting,
coats cast off
Small flowers
Starting to show.
I am reminded
We have more in common
Then differences.
Wishing you all
A lovely weekend,
Regardless
Of your beliefs
There is cause to
Celebrate.
