We see on our Medicine Wheel Seder Plate that the Karpas we ate are set in the East. We pause now to relect on the East, the Color Red, Newborns, and all new life. 
 

East is the place of the Air, it is the first sign of the day in the sky, the color of our blood, the newborn in our arms, seedlings coming up, and the dawn.  It is the tender, fresh skin found under a blister. It is the honeymoon of new life, the place where hope flies with all the Winged ones Hashem placed here. It is the dwelling place of the Shekinah.

We drink this 2nd cup and relect together on what is new for us this year. How did it grow from the old? Where do we hope it goes?
