easter morning

a few things that fill me - head to belly to toes - with joy this easter morning.

staying up to 2:00 am with my roommates, drinking wine, dying eggs, baking bread and carving a bunny out of chocolate cake. laughing a lot. talking about God and why we can or cannot believe.

lilacs growing in a green pot on my windowsill.

fresh spring air. flower buds on trees. blue skies and warm sun and smiles. (some people smile. this is still boston.)

9:00 am coffee dates with good friends, and church together to celebrate Resurrection, hope, love and grace.

an easter meal to be shared with friends - some with faith, some without. a celebration of community and new life and love and the ways that living brings us together.

this morning, my soul feels near to the One who made it. thankful. humbled. hopeful. full.

peace to you, my friend:) happy easter!
