I like the way this handmade Easter card from my friend Nancy looks beside my new basil plant. I read on the internet (so we know it must be true!) that basil grew near the cross where Jesus was crucified.
I decided to go to a nursery on Earth Day. It was so nice outside - such a beautiful day to visit a nursery. There was so much new life. It felt like resurrection.
As we move into the Easter Season of our Christian calendar, we have fifty days to contemplate resurrection, fifty days to perhaps get to know the resurrected Jesus in some fresh new ways. Each story we hear during this time offers something new to consider.
With my new holy basil, I decided to make something I had never made before: a pesto with lemon, walnuts, garlic, spinach, parmesan, olive oil, and basil that I tossed together with some angel hair pasta. I also sautéed some spring onions and added some fresh asparagus and frozen peas. It was a lovely, light, and refreshing dinner for a lovely Spring evening. The fresh basil added so much. What fresh, new perspectives about God have arisen for you this week?
