What are you doing this weekend?
We are looking forward to hearing a prophet's voice while we watch chicks hatch out of eggs.
It has been a surprisingly humble experience to candle these eggs.
The first time I saw one of the chicks move inside the egg, I was astonished and breathless with wonder.
I watched its teeny feet move around, casting little shadows inside the egg. Then the chick pressed its perfectly formed foot up against the inside of his eggshell. At that moment I realized what a miracle I was holding in my hands. It was so humbling to realize I was literally holding his life in my hands: one slip and the egg could drop and end his life. I felt a huge responsibility to handle the egg with care.
Eagerly I called the children to come into my dark bathroom and see the eggs. They ooo-ed and aaah-ed and whispered excitedly over the little shadows we could see through the shell.
Life is amazing and beautiful.

That is so beautiful! The only thing not fair about it-is that we can't "candle" our own bellies and watch our babies grow. I have often thought that it would be easier to wait the 9 months if I just had a window in my stomach. :) Sounds like you are starting the spring equinox off just right!
