LENT - 2009

2009-02-25T19:51:00.000-08:00

This year for Lent I have chosen to take/post a photo a day from my day, to experience/exercise presence in two ways.
First that in my day I'd like to be present, present to the moment.
Second while practicing presence I shall notice Presence - Spirit with me.

I took this photo on my way to living room earlier this eve - it was the sign I was first interested in and then the emptiness was intriguing - all the lights on but no body home. It's strange that a laundromat can be untended. Does anyone ever go in and lock the door? or turn the lights off? Is this what an automat is?

This empty place appears to be waiting. I also wait.

LENTSEVENTEEN

I haven't checked but i think i have somehow skipped ahead in my readings by a week - time seems to feel less and less like time and more like wind. In a whirl of a week - I don't know where lent is - I seem to be fasting although not intentionally. With long workdays, i seem to miss my evening meal, so i only eat in the day-light hours, a bit of a reversal. I wonder if it counts - will i learn something from it? As my days are work filled, here is a view from a vendors showroom party earlier tonight (i needed a break).

LENTFIFTEEN

Today also deals with yesterday, I have to include an excerpt from Mr. Nouwen - as it directly related to today's sermon by Jon (originsnyc.com) see picture from exercise.

But Jesus came to open my ears to another voice that says, 'I am your God, I have molded you with my own hands, and I love what I have made. I love you with a love that has no limits, because I love you as I am loved. Do not run away from me. Come back to me - not once, not twice, but always again. You are my child. How can you ever doubt that I will embrace you again, hold you against my breast, kiss you and let my hands run through your hair? I am your God - the God of mercy and compassion, the God of pardon and love, the God of tenderness and care. Please do not say that I have given up on you, that I cannot stand you any more, that there is no way back. It is not true. I so much want you to be with me. I so much want you to be close to me. I know all your thoughts. I hear all you words. I see all of your actions. And I love you because you are beautiful, made in my own image, and expression of my most intimate love. Do not judge yourself. Do not condemn yourself. Do not reject yourself. Let my love touch the deepest, most hidden corners of your heart and reveal to you your own beauty, a beauty that you have lost sight of, but which will become visible to you again in the light of mercy. Come, come, let me wipe your tears, and let my mouth come close to your ear and say to you, 'I love you, I love you, I love you.'

I saw this painting at an Italian restaurant in noho with Sue earlier this eve. The dude at the front walking away seems to know something, and everyone else has questions.

A question for the one that knows - what's this (life) all about? Tell me some more. I'll be quiet - it's lent.
