learn to respect/hands up
I hope everyone had a happy and holy easter sunday!
Extra extra surprise holiday for my grandparents having their happy and healthy granddaughter in the house. My baba(grandma) and I even bundled up and went to church at midnight to celebrate with at least 232576 other people that swamped the streets. It was only one church out of many! We even brought come colored eggs and fought at the first bells. I think my grandma and I, who have very little in common and rarely agree on anything, had a very neutral and interesting conversation about god on the walk. I told her about going to synagoue and shik temple and even holy ghost cults over the last year and how I'm constantly amazed at the power of belief. Any kind. Its power has brought people together for thousands of years, and on the eve of Easter Sunday I felt the same power from the hundreds of people around me with lit candles and bundled families. The emotion I feel within myself when I step inside a holy place or when I pray to my great grandmother is too obvious to ignore, and although I'm still confused and dont live my life in any certian way that would suggest a pious mind I do believe. My baba, understandably, views religion like she views most people...lacking. Communism having nearly nothing to do with it, I think. Anyway I took in some beautiful sights and some ok photos. I also light candles for my close friends and asked the priest to pray for Danny. I'd say two years of prayers should have helped some.
Today I got a headfull, and I wasnt even expecting it!
