Tomorrow is the day that we remember our mortality. Not so pleasant, but good to do once in a while. When I put ashes on a person's head, I will tell them (and it is particularly hard with sick people, who know it all too well) "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you will return."
Lent is hard to get without experiencing it. But it really can go well.

Media fastCategory: religion
I'll still be on media where I know people, so blogs, twitter, and facebook are all good, but I am taking a break from videos and mindless websites in the hope that "old media" will change me in some positive ways.
So, starting Wednesday, limited internet, no tv, and no partisan talk radio. Until Easter (but maybe longer if it is as good for me as I think it will be)

my house. "The Ordinary Radicals."
This is the story of a peculiar people,
with no King but God,
practicing a revolution of love,
and making the world anew.
Their isn't the old-time religion of saving up for going to heaven;
this is bringing heaven to the world.

Both are really quite an enormous luxury for me. :)
Umm... that is giving me second thoughts. I told my friend at work that I would go to Roswell's chapel with him tomorrow and start a sacrifice for lent - for the spirit of it. I was planning on giving up wasteful internet surfing - and maybe blogging at (e:strip) for a while.
