Lent Hurts

I wrote the following couple lines in an email to a friend tonight, and realized, as I looked back over them, that I want to share them, here, too, because they are strongly definitive of my journey, and of who I am and the space I'm presently occupying.

"I've decided that Lent hurts. That for me this year, it's about ripping things down, things I've held on to for too long. About not avoiding, but diving right smack dab into the center of the turmoil and the pain, and then hoping for the strength and ability to swim."
