We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.

T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets

Montage Friday through Sunday are a confusion of symbols and images, a muddle of the tomb, the cross, fire, candles, painted eggs, dusk and dawning, blooming and dancing and song. Right now, I'm making quiche for tomorrow's service at Lydia's, staring out the window, and working to pull a sermon out of a very holy mess. The kids at First Presbyterian must have dyed forty flats of eggs this morning? Also, let's not forget the cupcakes. My Easter sermon, deconstructed. Or maybe pre-constructed... There's something about fire escapes that I find inherently pleasing. Quiche in my kitchen.

Sermon: Breaking and Entering This sermon was preached at St. Lydia's on Easter Sunday, 2010. The text is Matthew 28:1-10. You can find it here. I wonder if you’ve ever attended a wedding that felt like a funeral? The couple was lifted on chairs, fed one another cake, kissed when someone dinged a spoon on their champagne glass, but all you felt was the searing pain in your heart of loss and separation. The celebration around you was a strange and disorienting counterpoint to the pain you were feeling. Or have you ever gone to a funeral, and found yourself, instead, at a wedding?...
