I've tried to lay claim to this pagan holiday myself, as symbolic (in secular terms) of the "return to life." Richard Dawkins would give me a hard time for this. Bad poetry, he'd call it. But I still embrace the Spring and its promise of a new purchase on life... soon as I can shake this "pointless" virus. Officially, after all, this is Opening Day.
