More from the Easter chronicles with the LDF-family. Here's an overly hasty scribble depicting cute little kids on an Easter egg hunt. We saw this one little girl who was almost lost in her voluminously fluffy pink dress, sitting in the grass, not quite sure what all the fuss was about. A slightly older girl approached her, holding out an egg and communicating via the special means that babies have to talk to each other. Finally she flopped down on the grass almost atop the pink dress girl and everyone happily snapped photos. I love the way little kids will just do their own thing, regardless of what the grown-ups are encouraging. "Go! Get those eggs! You can do it! Go fast!" shout the parents, and the kids amiably toddle along, enjoying the cool grass between their toes, observing insects in flight and the angle of the sunlight through the trees. They may find Easter eggs and they may not, and they couldn't care a whit either way, except that the world is a big, bright, beautiful place full of endless wonder, and they're happy to be in it. I'm with the kids.
