Reclaiming the traditions

Have had fun over the past two days, setting up this year's Lenten Labyrinth. (The pic is of last year. Will post up to date pic later). I always like to take time over this, praying it into existence - a labour of love. It felt good, too, to start Lent with a reflective Ash Wednesday service with the imposition of ashes for those who wished. It's so good to use ancient spiritual practices and ground them in our fast paced contemporary lives. Lent has certainly started in the fast lane. Let's hope it slows down enough to allow for preparation and contemplation.
