Dear Benedict,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any week can be holy if we let it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I begin wandering again this week. The winter is over, even with snow forecast. We have passed the Spring Equinox. The geese are going the other way. A lot of other avian migrants have recently arrived. Lapwings make a display of themselves in the fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m taking Bambi a few miles down the road to see the view. Derbyshire is full of them. Every bush is burning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bin men have been, so we’re officially emptied again. The Cross-Wise Way is a way of frequent restarts. A new notebook and a sharpened pencil. Begin again at chapter 1. Some of us never get any further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Monday is a day for resting your voice after all the shouting and yelling of yesterday. You may need it again later in the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Tuesday and Wednesday are days of pondering big questions. Why the fig tree is not fruiting, why a poor woman is putting her life savings in the offertory plate. Why oh Why? There will be other questions later in the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maundy Thursday is a day for washing and plotting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good Friday is a day for hanging around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Saturday is the quietest day of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easter Day is a day for rock rolling and surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From my remembered bible: Blessed is the One who comes this Way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any week can be holy if we let it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bless us on the way.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
