Robin's Egg Blue

I found two halves of a broken robin's egg, one Spring. It was floating in the water of my bird bath, under the trees, outside on the front lawn. I carefully picked up the pieces of shell and held them in my hand, admiringly. I was charmed by the idea that just a short while earlier, a fledgling creature had hatched from this fragile, pastel casing. I was sorry I'd missed the birth, but I was quietly overjoyed that it had happened...and that I was lucky enough to find the remnant proof!

I marveled to imagine that inside the tiny confines of this delicate, lovely shell--LIFE had begun. Miraculously its tenant--a small, tender chick--had trepidatiously, yet courageously set about to free himself. How frightened and vulnerable he must have felt as he began to peck through the hard, thin membrane. And how exhilirating it must have been for him to venture forth, out into the new and exciting world that lay BEYOND the only blue he had known before.

We are all like that chick sometimes. Secure and content in our little cocoons...not knowing there could BE anything ELSE. Until one day, just the right amount of pressure happens...and then, the slightest crack appears in our facade. As our perceived reality shatters before us, we worry that the walls are coming down, leaving us as exposed and unprotected as that baby bird. But as we recover from the initial shock of the change, and we get a refreshing glimpse around...we slowly come to realize that the world is BIGGER than first we thought. That there is MORE to know. That we WANT to go explore it! And that, perhaps, we were anxious for no reason at all.

Happy Springtime, new friends! Here's hoping you see Robin's Egg Blue this season, and that it reminds you of possibility. ;}

Beyond the lifeless shell, life is somewhere.
