The Dead Weekend

Fairly typical for this time of year, it is raining and cooling.

Easter is here, the Christian holiday celebrating the death and resurrection or rebirth of Jesus Christ. 

Before that the Jewish people had Passover which celebrated the release from captivity from the Egyptians,although probably time diluted over the eons to concur with Spring. 

The time period was originally called Eostre, a celebration of birth because the Northern Hemisphere was coming out of its Winter that allowed planting for the coming harvest in late summer.

The convoluted imagery is even tied up further with the Easter bunny, a prolific breeder, giving eggs which give new life, the egg also representing the empty tomb of JC. All these thing interpreted by their ideology and idolatry.

Basically, over time, more modern religions have taken over the time periods for their own devices but keeping some old custom to keep heathens and others happy.

Here in the Southern Hemisphere we are entering the winter period, not planting time but cropping time, but do we care, as long as we get a few days off. 

All of it is based on imagery except for the heathen based rebirth for planting which is based on reality.

The inner heathen/atheist/realist in all of us should recognise the truth in events that are core to the sensibility of life itself.

Even virus is aplenty at this time this year, its life itself tells us all that Globalism is not all that it is cracked up to be, step back and view the wonders of life small and large.

As in life in general, with reality and heathenism coming before Christianity, RNA came first and can outplay DNA at any time. RNA is like our reptilian brain, the core impulse reactor, the driver of adrenaline and cortisol that give rise to our fight or flight action. DNA is a more modern set of life building instructions that allow us to make decisions that can be bad for our future, we can decide to fight instead of running and this can prove fateful. Our herd instinct can insulate us but it can also kill us or portions of the herd at least.

Whatever happens, water is life giving, for RNA, DNA, virus, complicated lifeforms, everything, so enjoy the rain.
