On Easter morning all over America
the peasants are frying potatoes in bacon grease.
We’re not supposed to have “peasants”
but there are tens of millions of them
frying potatoes on Easter morning,
cheap and delicious with catsup.
If Jesus were here this morning he might
be eating fried potatoes with my friend
who has a ‘51 Dodge and a ‘72 Pontiac. . . .
~Jim Harrison, from “Easter Morning,” Writer's Almanac, 5/18/06
Strange man, Jesus, hanging out with such. Namaste.

Another excellent reflection! I'm enjoying all of them. Thank you for your ministry.
Husband and I would be considered peasants! It's our favorite breakfast!
