Ashes to Ashes...Stardust to Stardust

Having been raised a Roman Catholic, this week marks the beginning of the holy season of Lent.  If you celebrate Lent you may be giving up something (like chocolate or coffee) for 40 days and 40 nights and abstaining from meat on Fridays.  Some of us even attend a service, get ashes swept across our foreheads (a sign that we will return to dust) and listen to readings about how we should foresake all things religious?  Huh? lol 

As a child, Lent always kind of rubbed me the wrong way.  It’s like the season went against the very truth of who I was!  As children we are naturally drawn to celebrate...everything!  I don't know a child that comes to sacrifice very naturally. Lent is a time for repentance...for sacrificing to God and many people interpret this as sacrificing worldly pleasures...as if worldly pleasures were bad! And all this at a time when the flowers are beginning to bloom, the birds are singing and the energy of the Universe is "twiterpated!" It's like the world is just beckoning you to indulge!

So whether or not you’re frying fish up on Fridays or not, I wanted to leave with just a few things to ponder…

1)    Yes, we are dust... AND stardust !  You are the Dark but you are also the Light!  And that’s okay…it’s perfect!

2)    What if…just what if nothing you could do in this life time would EVER offend, hurt or shame the Ulmighty God of All…or this All Loving Universe!  Just what if? 

3)    If you integrated these two thoughts, how would that change your life?  How would you FEEL?  How would you interpret the things that “happen” to you or others?  Would it change the way you live your life?


I for one will be enjoying the pleasures of this amazing realm we call Earth.  After all, we have chosen to be an intimate and integral part of it…I hear my fair trade, sustainably harvested organic dark chocolate calling now! :)


Ashes to ashes…stardust to stardust…smile to your heart that carries both!
