A college girl was on a plane flying from Pittsburgh to her home. As she stared out of the plane window down at the green countryside below, her heart was heavy and tears were in her eyes. She was a student returning home for the Easter holiday. Her first year of college was nearly over and it was a disaster. She was convinced that life no longer held any real meaning for her. Her only ray of happiness lay in the fact that she would soon see the ocean, which she loved dearly. As the plane touched down on the runway, the girl wondered what kind of Easter vacation was possible after having such a difficult time in college. Her grandmother met her at the gate, and the two of them drove to her home in complete silence. As they pulled into the driveway the girl's only thought was getting to the ocean. It was well after midnight when she arrived at the beach. What happened next is best described in her own words. She says, "I just sat there in the moonlight watching the waves roll up on the beach. Slowly my disastrous first year passed before my eyes, day by day, week by week, month by month. Then, suddenly, the whole experience fell into place. It was over and past. I could forget about it forever; but at the same time, I didn't want to forget it." "The next thing I knew, the sun was rising in the east. As it did I sensed my feelings starting to peak, just as a wave starts to peak before it breaks. That morning I, too, arose!" "It was as though my mind, heart and body were drawing strength from the ocean. All my old goals, dreams and enthusiasm came rushing back stronger than ever. I rose with the sun, got into my car, and headed for home." After her Easter vacation that girl returned to college, picked up the broken pieces of her year, and fitted them back together again. In the short span of an Easter vacation, that girl died and rose again. For the first time in her life she understood the practical meaning of Easter.
