There is perhaps no better way to celebrate resurrection than to spend time with children. Today my younger nephews and I pulled their Easter kites up and down the horse pasture, and I spent the evening hours chasing the older ones around their grandparents’ yard.
I would like to be remembered someday for the work I have done–my writing, teaching, music. But I think more than anything I want the children I’ve known to remember that I played with them.
