       This is another Bible fragment turned into renga. Much like the
       Christmas one, it's always tricky to take existing text and
       rengafy it; I could not find a translation that had the famous
       'living among the dead' comment other than the KJV derivatives,
       and the syllabification was such that I had to break my own rule
       about no inserting words (omission is of course kosher, for lack
       of a better term, but I was trying to avoid throwing stuff in).
       So, please pardon the single glaring extra preposition.
        
       The picture is an unretouched glowing sun-through-clouds that I
       caught at the right moment on US Highway 395, about twenty miles
       south of Carson City, Nevada.
        
       Regardless of your religious persuasion, I hope everyone has a
       happy and safe Easter weekend. The "living among the dead" part
       seems especially apt given the dramatic hostage rescue today:
       amongst three dead pirates was saved Capt. Richard Phillips of
       the hijacked Maersk Alabama, in a quick and dazzling display of
       why you don't mess around with the United States Navy. A job well
       done, on the right day for it.
        
       In a couple weeks I will be taking a (IMHO) well-deserved
       vacation and I'm looking for a couple of guests who'd be
       interested in having their work run on HDNR. You know the format,
       you know the style. If you're interested, drop me an E-mail.
       Obviously this is volunteer, and you would maintain all rights to
       your own work.
