Easter eggs! This morning on Maundy Thursday as I sat outside, the mother of these soon-to-be four little robins, all wrapped up as eggs, finally let me sit with her (admittedly she was a bit charry) as together we prayed--she sang her robin songs and I join her with some of the psalms in Morning Prayer. As I watched her, no longer fightened at my presence, I thought of how Jesus, like this robin, "sits upon us" with his grace, giving himself unstintingly so that we might hatch out of our shells into the Resurrection.
