Suffering Amidst Gemstones

Was catching up on my blog reading this morning and came across this post.

Loved the dream this guy had, and the image that came from it.

Reminded me of conversations with a friend over the course of my trip. Reminded me of Lent, and ducking my head in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome as a Priest sprinkled ashes across my head, saying (in Italian, I think) some variation of, "Remember that you are dust and to dust you will return. Turn away from sin and be faithful to the gospel." Something so deep and profound in that moment shared with two friends and hundreds of strangers. Something I am still struggling to bring words to.
