Hunting for Eggs

I was asked to do a one-minute reflection on hunting for Easter Eggs (!) this last Sunday at the Unitarian Society. (Of course, for me holding it to one minute was the big challenge).  Here's what I had to say:

Today, in just a little while, right here on the grounds of the Society, our children will be hunting for eggs that have been hidden by our Coming of Age kids and our Youth Group teenagers.

 This brings back memories. When I was a girl, we cousins had an Easter egg hunt every year. We ran like creatures obsessed, filling our baskets with treasure, and on the best years...NO ONE GOT HURT.

Eggs have been a symbol of new life since way before those "olden days". Every egg a perfect world of possibility. Every egg a reminder that life does go on, that the sun returns in Spring so the earth can birth her miracles, and many of those miracles are us.

New children join in the hunt every year, and so the generations pass. I like to remember though, that you are never too old to be looking for treasure, never too old to find a perfect world arriving just in time for Spring.
