Two Crowns

Palm Sunday is a celebration day and it is right that it should be so.  Because the Holy Week to come is also a procession and it also ends in a coronation.  The King of Jerusalem or else the very stones would cry out!  That was how his last week began.  And it ended with the very stones crying out in earthquake, proclaiming him the King of the Universe.

It is not comfortable to ride a donkey, but perhaps it feels easier on the bones if you know you are riding to your crown.  Your pains are donkey-back pains.  They are taking you to your city and your throne.  You cannot see them, but the crowds are there, cheering.
