Suddenly before the little boy knew it, the boat was out of his reach, even

                    Easter is so much more than learning how to face death without fear, with courage and dignity.  After all, even philosophers, poets, and scientists can do that.  I remember the astronomer Carl Sagan mention in an interview that he was looking forward to death as “the last great adventure.”   Walt
