Thinking about and anticipating Lent, we recall that it consists of 40 days (plus 6 Sundays)between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. The word "lent" stems from the Anglo-Saxon word for "spring," which comes from "lengthen" as the days lengthen leading us into the season of springtime. For most Christians, as it was for Jesus, it is a period of fasting and abstinence. It is a time to rethink our relationship to God and our understanding of ourselves. As we contemplate the Resurrection of Jesus, we relate to our own "resurrection" experiences. We can come to appreciate our spiritual awareness, the old patterns of thinking and expressing we release, and the wonderful possibilities of "spring: that lie before us.<br /><br />Would we recognize Jesus if he came before us today? Sadly, probably not, unless we recognize the divine within ourselves first. It is a journey we must undertake again and again with the break of each day, "walking the walk" and attempting to stay upon the path. <br /><br />A nice, deep blog that I appreciate.
