Well, all my good intentions for Lent got squeezed out of my life by the bullies of work and school. They crowded out any extra room, leaving no time, energy, or emotional space to reflect and sit with healing thoughts. Kimberly’s work schedule and mine are not only constantly changing, but misaligned so that we only have time to connect at a basic level, but no time or energy to go deeper. I came home night before last and told Kimberly, “I HATE this school!” It is that time in the semester when everything is coming due and I have no extra time to complete the major projects. Perhaps when I have a semester break I will have a chance to paint from the Lent pallet.
