DUST TO DUST

 

It is cold, overcast and dreary.  I am feeling introspective and pensive.  It must be the "ashes to ashes" thing of this beginning of Lent.  So it seemed like a good time to play with the color options on my camera and see what happened.  There is a sepia and a cyanatype option.  The blue of cyanatype made a much brighter and optimistic picture.  The sepia was more how I am feeling.  Old in the fashion of time and thoughtful.  Almost sad but not quite.  Waiting.

I have settled on a Lenten discipline which I will just keep to myself for now.  It requires both real daily discipline but involves creativity and reaching out to others in a thoughtful way.  It will be good for me -- both the creativity, which I so enjoy and do not spend enough time developing,  AND the reaching out which I usually do on the spur of the moment.  So this is a good all round discipline.  May God be with me these forty days.
