The Hunt for Serenity: An Easter Memory
Dear friends, today I thought it fitting to share a memory that not only marked one of my own life’s significant turning points but might just help you find a bit more serenity in your lives.
An Unexpected Lesson
Many springs ago, during an annual family tradition, our children’s Easter Egg Hunt,, I stumbled into the wisdom of tranquillity. It was not from the bustle or excitement but hidden within ordinary moments often overlooked.
The Great Race
Fostered by anticipation and crowned with laughter, the day would begin early. Armed with colorfully woven baskets ‘neath their arms, my children would dart out to collect as many candy-stuffed eggs as they could unearth. Skinned knees were badges of honor; each found egg a pedestal victory amidst youthful exhalation.
Meanwhile In The Garden…
Sitting idly in repose – unnoticed – was a plain chocolate egg nestled amongst blossoming marigolds; unperturbed by the frenzy around it and waiting patiently to be discovered.
Rewards Await Patient Hearts
This unadorned chocolate treat represented something much larger than itself—how abundant rewards oftentimes are clothed in simplicity and serenity’s attire. They’re patient too.
While we’re busily running helter-skelter pursuing what we deem crucial, serenaded by cacophony ensuing from such pursuits – there rests potential enjoyment right under our noses!
A Journey Towards Inner Peace
Reviews have shown finding inner peace can spike happiness levels considerably higher than getting lost trying to tally up material or superficial achievements.
For me – this realization came whilst sitting on that sun-drenched garden bench observing little hands flailing about.
It wasn’t until Catherine (my youngest) calmly approached me holding that simple undecorated chocolate egg cupped delicately between her tiny fingers did I realize — Amidst all chaos existed a reservoir of calmness…serene…and abundant! Possessing magic enough break through disruption’s hectic facade if allowed.
And Catherine sure taught everyone present there!
