I find this approach very rare and wonder why?
Because there are certain people that would prefer men and women are very very different ... even from different planets. I say bull. Life is meant to be shared. Men and women "fit" together. Pun definitely intended. Understand what it takes to fit before you are a miss-fit. Post your comments about what it takes to fit and why that is important to you and yours.
This is the FIRST from my NEW "Listen and Learn" Series.
I'm tired of reading...

Dalai Lama and Compassion = Happiness
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” ~Dalai Lama
It's all so Simple; Choose...Love. The only choice you have.
The only choice we ever really have is the choice between love and fear.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power,
We will live in Peace.
Jimmy Hendrix

What do Eggs and Rabbits have to do with Easter... rabbits don't lay eggs.
Great Question Nadine!
We Germans have a great tradition of creating Many Great Traditions. My Mom is Dutch my Dad German, but I don't speak it : (
According to Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, the Easter Bunny as an Easter symbol bringing Easter eggs, seems to have its origins in Germany, where he was first recorded in a German publication in the early 1600s.... See More
The first edible bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800s and were made of pastry and sugar.
The Easter Bunny was introduced to America by the German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during the 1700s. The arrival of the German osterhase or hare was considered one of “childhood’s greatest pleasures.”
According to the tradition, children would build brightly colored nests, often out of caps and bonnets, in secluded areas of their homes. The osterhase would, if the children had been good, lay brightly colored eggs in the nest. As the tradition spread, the nest has become the manufactured, modern Easter basket, and the placing of the nest in a secluded area has become the tradition of hiding baskets : )
Everyone should be proud of their heritage. It is good to honor all our ancestors. No one is all good or all bad. But certain sugars are. Read up on it in my blog. Be GOOD to your Kids.

The Goddess of fertility
Jai Briggs
the word Easter is actually derived from an old goddess named Ishtar, and she was the goddess of fertility, which is where the rabbits and eggs come into play...fyi lol
What is in a Myth? Ishtar; Who is that?
Myths are wonderful metaphors in that they distill the wisdom of the ages. I really wish I had more time for them. Correct me if I am wrong but as I understand Ishtar is a mythical goddess of fertility, love, war, and sex from a fragmented story of some 5000 years ago in ancient Iraq. She is described as an ill tempered spoiled brat/prostitute that enters the underworld and makes certain demands of the gate keeper. She says;
If thou openest not the gate to let me enter,
I will break the door, I will wrench the lock,
I will smash the door-posts, I will force the doors.
I will bring up the dead to eat the living.
And the dead will outnumber the living.
Maybe this is some sort of nighmarish resurrection but I do not see where any of this connects to Easter, bunnies or eggs. I see a structural similarity between Easter and Ishtar and of course bunnies and fertility, But I don't know when it was discovered that women carried eggs but I am sure that modern medicine has the credit rather than myth.
Traditions, history and myth intertwine and things get lost. But, I don't know and I wouldn't claim to. It seems the best we can do is speculate. So, if what you say is true; what is the story and how does it relate to Easter as it is celebrated today? Who is it about? What is the deeper meaning? What can we learn from it?

Religious wars still exist
Hi Jai,
Thanks for your response and honesty. It seems to me that honesty is at the heart of all "religions" and may I call them 'belief systems' that help us make sense of a complex world which in itself often leads to the problems we see in our daily lives.
Someone believing they are right and "God" is on their side and some how loves them more than the rest of us 'infidels' 'non-believers' 'gentiles' 'heathens' 'pagans' etc etc. seems more than a bit off to me.
Here's and oxymoron; more people have died in the name of religion than for any other reason; even though nearly all religions condone killing! Yet, they kill. Religious wars still exist, even though we are told they don't.
My point of view; this 'ego' problem stems from a deep seated need to be "right" in order to deny the deeper problem of insecurity within their own belief system. In this regard; religion has failed them but then again these are tough lessons to learn when we follow others rather than our hearts.
Have a Blessed Day.
