EASTER MORNING
Long Beach Island, NJ
1976
Easter is yet another holiday that does not hold my interest
but today I go to the Sunrise Mass on the beach with my family. I come poorly
prepared as it is still freezing this early in the morning. So I am slightly miserable and insufferable
until I see the horizon turn pink. The sunrise is beautiful. The priest stops the Mass for just a moment at
the first hint of the sun peaking up from the horizon. We all watch in silence
and without a que from anyone, everyone claps in unison, as the sun becomes a
complete circle.
