“God,” I asked, quietly. “After you died, why did you come back?”

“Oh, my child,” God answered.
“Why does the moon return to a dark sky, night after night?”

“Gravity,” I responded, assuming I knew everything. . . 
—Excerpt from "Night After Night"

You rose from the dead.
You rose from the dead, so morning after morning I will rise from my bed
with the hope of loving bigger than the day before,
for the dawn feels more precious in the days after Easter. Doesn’t it?
—Excerpt from "Dawn."

For if your lungs are a garden, then your breath is new life.
And if your breath is life, then I beg you, make my soul Easter. . . 
—Excerpt from "Paint My Scars with Flowers"
