It's uncomfortable and sad and embarassing (afterwards I always was the first to wipe off the ashes), but being allowed to claim those feelings in church is so SO powerful and necessary. I also remember how powerful it was to administer ashes on internship. Everyone should get that feeling...<br /><br />For my lenten discipline, I'm taking the vegan thing to full force. And judging by the struggles this morning, it will be difficult, but it also reminds me of this ashiness because of how connected I feel to the earth through lower foods on the food chain. <br /><br />TMI I suppose...<br /><br />Thank you! And good luck today!Rachel W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02003676005471057569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655954109349300481.post-21537997994542449452011-03-09T08:57:19.832-06:002011-03-09T08:57:19.832-06:00Emily -

I agree that the act of marking one with the cross in ash ties us to each other, to the saints in Heaven and to those who have yet to come. It is a wonderful reminder. <3Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601024951120294602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655954109349300481.post-25985410644996664392011-03-09T02:31:45.009-06:002011-03-09T02:31:45.009-06:00hey dear it's Cara. we get to talk tomorrow! ...hey dear it's Cara. we get to talk tomorrow! i can't remember if you like cloud cult or not... their song, "when water comes to life," has such amazing baptism/death/connection imagery. i've been trying to decide if it's best to create an Ash Wednesday service or an All Saints' Day service around that song. it will happen, someday. your thoughts are sought. hooray for phone dates!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655954109349300481.post-86797858940976007612011-03-09T00:13:07.754-06:002011-03-09T00:13:07.754-06:00beautifully said, my beautiful friend.beautifully said, my beautiful friend.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930906832441989477noreply@blogger.com
