I fell into an unexpected introduction to God a long time ago. Or, perhaps it should be explained as a reintroduction of two entities that had started out on the wrong foot the first time. Nonetheless, I still recall it as a "fall". Like Alice tripping into the rabbit hole. Falling down, down, down, until I came to rest, rather violently, on warm and fertile soil. The initial jolt was alarming but my surroundings were quite pleasant so I quickly got over the rough landing.
Today is Shrove Tuesday, the eve before Lent. I will go to church tonight to share company and pancakes. Tomorrow begins Lent. 40 days to stay silent and listen to things that are usually drowned out by the noise in my life. My life is noisy, inside and out.
