eggs, eggs, eggs

sometimes it's just really nice to change your scenery. i went to petaluma today for 'easter'. it was nice to be able to be a kid again and dye easter eggs, and eat really good food and hang out with really cool folks in a nice garden and enjoy the sun. sometimes the change of scenery will help you get out of your head and just enjoy the day. don't get me wrong, sometimes you do need to be in your head and feeling whatever you are feeling, but it's nice to be around folks. it's also really nice to feel the earth under your feet. it grounds you. it helps you feel connected to the larger universe. it's good to get dirty and dye eggs as well as your hands. the world, or maybe it's just the u.s., is trying to sterilize everything and separate you from reality, the earth. also, it's so satisfying to find your first 4 leaf clover. i never thought they were 'real' before. i thought they only existed as dried out marshmellows in sugary cereal. but to find and pick your own is an experience.
