The poet Robert Herrick (1591-1674) reminds us how to observe the season well: "'tis a fast to dole thy sheaf of wheat and meat unto the hungry soul. It is to fast from strife and old debate, and hate; to circumcise thy life. To show a heart grief-rent; to starve thy sin, not bin; and that's to keep thy Lent".
My enjoyment of the liturgical seasons is always greatly enriched by your posted reflections and images. I'm looking forward to joining you for Lent, thanks,

This will be either my third or fourth year participating in the retreat and it is wonderful blessing to walk with you on this path. Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
