last night maria led us in a beautiful ash wednesday gathering. she had decorated the high st house in burlap and set a table (our alter is an old trunk previously used by a missionary to india) with ashes, candles, and tree debris from the ice storm. the place around us was rich with symbolism as we followed a liturgy that reminded us of our mortality and our limits as god-made creatures. we now embark on the wilderness walk of lent, offering up our fasting as a sign of our sincere desire to walk in the ways of Jesus.
