I've been missing 40 Days 40 Writes which is the main secret to my prolific writing success. Receiving a prompt each morning gets my creative thoughts and juices flowing. I wake up at 4am and generally, the prompt is in my box. I read it and think about the topic before I get to my writing sometime between 4:30 and 5:00 am.
When I saw the note from Robin, it was a surprise, even though I knew it was the start of the Lenten series. My cohousing community got a headstart and celebrated Mardi le Dimanche (Fat Sunday). Yesterday was Mardi Gras. I pigged out on a supreme pizza.
I'm in two early morning writing groups when I do my 40x40 writing. I generally don't mention that since it's my little trick to spur my actual writing. When I compose these, in the past, I've written a string of related posts that may someday inspire a longer work.
The Lenten lesson was about Jesus preaching to his peeps not to use their piety as a public display thinking others will think more highly of them. That's typical Jesus. Today is Ash Wednesday when Jesus rode into Jeruselem on a donkey over a trail of palm fronds places by his followers.
Some churches burn the palms from the year before and smudge a cross on the foreheads of their members. I remember the Catholic kids came to school wearing those. My Presbyterian Church didn't observe the practice.
Failure to wipe off the ashen cross and showing it off, is that a sign of false piety? Wearing the smudged cross isn't necessary to demonstrate faith. It's better to walk your faith without flaunting it.
