I cannot think of anything more appropriate for Ash Wednesday than to get in touch my humanity through crying. Writing this poem (of sorts) had me weeping as did receiving an unexpected Valentine right before I started writing. I have been crying a lot recently and I started to wonder, as I tend to do, "is something wrong with me?" Then I realized, oh no, I am just able to tap back into my compassion, my empathy, my softness and sensitivity. Today is Ash Wednesday, it ushers in the season of Lent and we are invited into a season of reflection and acknowledgement of how we fully rely upon God. My tears are bringing me home to myself and to the God of abundant love, grace, compassion, and magic who always welcomes us with arms wide open, with an open heart, and with a spring of joyful tears. May you have a blessed Ash Wednesday and feel the Divine near. Peace and Love, Margaret
