Wonders awake my heart and mind,
tuning them again to the Divine
Beauty restores my soul
It’s time to choose life again
To lift my face to the sun
As lent approaches I’m done
With the sackcloth and ashes
My lamenting journey has begun
And will continue
But I won’t choose to prolong the lessons
I’ve learned in dark deep
Lent for me will be a time to
Lift my face to the sun
And let the light in
It's hope I keep
40 days of fasting? We’ve been in a Year of Fasting. When will the tides turn. I think it’s now. I anticipate Easter like I anticipate Spring. I’m not sure I can see it in the distance yet, but I wait with eyes fixed like a watchmen waits for the Dawn. I sing before it breaks like a bird anticipates. Lord, quickly come. (Already) risen One.
