Prompt: "Easter is the only time when it's perfectly safe to put all of your eggs in one basket." Evan Esar If given the choice, which types of candies would you put in your own basket? ------- I'm not sure about putting all my fresh eggs in one basket. What if the clumsy me dropped the basket? I guess boiled ones wouldn't matter much. Worse comes to worst, their shells would be cracked. So, what would it matter, in this world where most anything is cracking up recently! And I'm cracking up, right now, at what flows out of my keyboard onto the screen. As to that basket I'm supposed to fill with goodies, I'd start with dark chocolate anything and jellybeans, and other sweets like my grandmother's pastries that are now impossible to find, my mother's eclairs that also are a memory, and again as another memory, my late husband's delightful smile. Added to all that can be the purrs from the cat heaven of my beautiful black Noche and all my earlier cats, plus from the dog heaven, the sight of our Newfoundland dog Joe's gorgeous eyes, watching me with the purest love ever. Then, I wish to put my basket inside a much larger basket, so large that it may be impossible to carry, since inside, this large basket is already quite full with blessings for my sons, family, friends, and fellow human beings--of love and light, cooperation among people and nations, and peace and hope for our world. I think I'll pull that hope to the top of this very big basket, even though I may only be dreaming. |
