Lent

Sometimes, the tune of Lent is grey and minor. This year, Lent is singing a strong anthem of awakening.

I have hope, and it's solid.

Maybe it's my distance from post-partum haze. My thoughts are clearer, my emotions more articulate.

Maybe it's the increase of sunlight, a life-giving sunlight that warms down to the bones.

Maybe it's grace, all grace.
