Today is Palm Sunday. It kicks off the Holy Week celebrated by Christians. It all starts with the Triumphal Entry. I have never been to the Holy Land, I don't know what it is like to be park of the crowds that gather for the Passover Celebration.

The closest I can claim is that I have been part of the Pow Wow Grand Entry at the college I graduated from and taught at, the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (now the First Nations University of Canada). One year I even entered with Allen Sapp (who painted the picture above). Being that I minored in Indian Art History in my first BA that was quite an honour.

I have been reading the the accounts of Jesus' last week in the various gospels. Considering this week accounts for the bulk of the book of John I think I will be putting recreational reading to the side for the remainder of the week.

When I do get back to it I am going to start up John Raston Saul's "The Unconscious Civilization" and I also have to pick out another classic - probably Austen's "Northanger Abbey" (Juli just finished it).

My reading has dropped off this fall and I feel a little mentally lethargic.
