lent

i love lent.

if you are not familiar with it,
it's the 40-day season prior to Easter.
in it, you meditate upon the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert before he was crucified.
it's beautiful.
it's like a re-aligner with what is good,
what is necessary,
what is helpful,
and a clearing out of what is excessive,
life-numbing,
and not beneficial.
and in doing so, step into a place of humility, gratitude, self-awareness, and simplicity.
it's about shaving away the excess gunk in our lives so we may be more cognizant of and seek that which brings life,
and come Easter, we emerge as individuals more full of love, light and readiness to take on the world.

i'm ready.
