Ash Wednesday

Can Lent be a season of joy?
  I never thought so.  But this year I have been waiting for Lent.  Waiting to start.  Waiting to change, to do. 
And I feel a joy inside that has not been there for a long time.
I think it may be hope.  Hope in spite of the economy, in spite of the worries, in spite of the changes that hover constantly. 
The readings for today are inspiring. 

Remember, you are dust and to dust you shall return.  I like that.  To have come into this earth by miracle, and to leave without disturbing the ecology and the balance....
That too gives me hope.
