This Easter, I made eggs in the traditional way for this part of the world, in onion peel, which leaves the eggs in a most brilliant red.
The photos here are of eggs I made a few years ago, when I melted bees' wax and decorated the eggs using an old ink quill. Eggs are not painted on so much as they are written on, in a script of symbols that remind me of the geometry of Native American rock art.
I love writing, but more than that, I love the symbolic writing that is transcended in a shared act. Where I live, friends and family gather to crack each others eggs, which represent the shattering of Hades and the resurrection. In other words, writing that leads to great love and a wonderful togetherness.
