I was just puzzled by your word: potent!! I did think immediately: Why not just sex with Alma, his wife!!
And then, re-seing your words associated with: children!! So, I remember now that Ennis loved his children!!
So, you are right!!
So, that is Ennis Easter gift: life: children!! ??
Au revoir,
hugs!

yes, if one wished to look only at the most positive interpretation of those passages in the ss or those scenes in the film. however, I think that if you probe deeper you will find other darker meanings.
Artiste:
Thanks to you two!!
Is children Ennis' Easter ?
Even if Ennis is gay or bi, he is OK with me for having children, and too having been married!
Brokeplex, is that your darker meaning?
You lost me!
Au revoir,
hugs!

the "darker" meaning is stated in Front Ranger's post, which I agree with.

Brokeplex:
I re-read Front-Ranger and yours, and I am still LOST !!
What darker meaning??
Having kids is a dark thing to do?
Not in my book! Is that it?
Hugs!
