Light Moment

No place of grace for those who avoid the face

No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the voice

T.S. Eliot

 

In many Western Christian traditions, today is observed as Ash Wednesday.  It is the first day of Lent and occurs forty days before Easter.  Ash Wednesday gets its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of the faithful as a sign of repentance.  For more information, consider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Wednesday
