easter banger...Woohoo!! food poem 10

What we discover on yonder side of lent is the love and life which fills us up instead of the food, sex, drugs etc that we had given up. Expecting one feast, we encounter another. When we do eat cookies and buttered rolls and drink Prosecco and take shots--when we do feast--it is merely a celebration of that love and life which is the true feast. Prosecco and the rest are good (so very good!) but we find they are not the point. All lent I've wanted to eat and eat and I have (largely without success) restrained myself but today, on easter morning, when the time of feasting has finally come, I suddenly don't want it as much, so full I am with the joy of life. Everything is in a new light. He is risen!
