Lent, loaned



Lent, loaned --  
     one meaning temporary;
     Season of Lent
     promises permanence: 
     God with us. 
  
In the world of commerce
Easter fosters new wardrobes
for our church going.  

But nature helps tell
the resurrection story:
Once buried in cold earth,
her plantings emerge
in new forms and colors, 
offering us sustenance
and the promise of new life.

It behooves us to
tend our gardens
of faith and learning,
responding as changed beings,
bathed in year-round Easter joy!
--Pauline Walle
