Prepare

Today is a day of preparation -
    carnivale;
    Pancake Tuesday;
    burning of the old year's palms until only ashes remain.

Today is a day of preparation -
    considering the journey ahead;
    setting aside frivolity;
    creating a silent space, a sacred space.

Today is a day of preparation -
    to renew friendship with the divine;
    to encounter the divine in creation;
    to recognise the divine in another.

May the divine inhabit your preparations.
May the divine shape your preparations.
May the divine bless your preparations.
