Ash Wednesday is in two tomorrows. First comes Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday), a day in which we are meant to feast in order to enter a season of fasting. Then comes the time of reflection on our lives and ultimate reality. But I can’t help but want to avoid the feast and head straight to the fast. I want to put on sackcloth and sit in ashes and wait for another era in our lives to begin. Yet, Ash Wednesday remains a future reality still. Feasting is needed to build us before we are torn down. Ash Wednesday and all of Lent is close but is not yet here. So I sit and, instead of preparing a feast or starting a fast, I sip my whisky and write about Job.
