ASHES, ASHES

There’s something about
letting go,
giving up,
saying goodbye,
and turning away

—even just for a season—

from the things we think
we simply cannot live
without

that can open space
for the things
we actually cannot live
without

to find their way in.

That season,
for me,
is currently called
Lent.

Wishing you a blessed and meaningful Ash Wednesday, friends. Here’s to finding rich love in barren places.
