All That Glitters...is just Easter Eggs

Happy Easter!

I love the symbolism of re-birth in the season of Spring. This winter has been particularly harsh, weather-wise, for much of the U.S., and so I don't think any of us mind seeing the signs of Spring all about.

What I've made particular note of in my own life is my tendency to look forward to certain events with anticipation--and my urgent desire to speed their approach. There have been a few events that, all winter long, I could not wait for the arrival of...in fact, I got a little obsessive about checking to make sure I hadn't missed any announcements about the affairs. There was the invitation-only event that occurs every two years that I could't wait to go to, and which is coming up in a few weeks. There was the class that is only taught twice a year that I just had to take so I'd have those "special" skills. There was the release of a dvd that I didn't see in the theater, so I just had to have the small screen version on the first day it was out. On and on.

What I found interesting is that when it came time to actually register for, or buy, any of these things, I was no longer interested...the joy was in the desire and the wanting, actually. As I thought about it, of course I had to draw a parallel to the ego's "seek and never find" tactics. But what was different this time was that I actually gave myself permission to change my mind before I had hung the rest of my salvation on the object of desire. I didn't have to feel the disappoinment of spending a lot of money on something that couldn't possibly deliver on my expectations, because those expectations had nothing to do with illusion, and everything to do with Reality. The shift that has begun in me to see that what I truly seek in every moment is the Peace of God. And to have that, all I need to do is be aware of its constant presence in my true Reality.

The whole thing kind of reminds me of Easter eggs...I love decorating them...love gazing at the beautiful colors, and the anticipation of hiding them for the kids, and the joy the kids feel when they find the eggs. They look beautiful gathered in a basket after the hunt. But the fact is, once you crack them open, they're just eggs...and one can only eat so much egg salad before the eggs rot, and on some level you realize that all you really were reaching for is what the decorated egg represented, that which you had all along: the symbolic re-birth of that awareness that we are safe and supported by God's eternal Love...and that everything will be alright.
