Mavis is a bit giddy and has let her journal page get out of hand. Perhaps it's the sugar from the chocolate cream Easter egg she indulged in this morning.

Today Mavis writes.... Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015 Glorious weather, watched the moon set and the sunrise. My plans for today include making my way to the little church in town for a service and feeding the birds down by the shore- I put treats for the dogs in those little plastic eggs and scattered them about the property for a riotous egg hunt canine style in the afternoon.

(Easter always makes Mavis nostalgic for her Methodist roots.)

Raise your joys and triumphs high. Where, O death is now thy sting? Christ hath opened paradise. Soar we now where Christ hath led. Hail the Lord of Heaven and Earth, Praise to thee by both be given. ~ Charles Wesley

Borders and edges are the places of transformation. Transformation that makes demands of us. ~ Christine Valters Paintner - Abbess
