Am I able to trust
that the darkness
is neither final nor empty
but instead
holds the seed
that holds the limb
that holds the blossom of life? ~ DJM

This Lent I am dipping into the archives and selecting writings from the last ten years of THE ALMOND TREE. Because the selections come from different years, there will be occasional repetitions which is probably a good thing. I have not tried to match the day in Lent when each piece was originally posted to that day of Lent in 2020. For today’s reading CLICK HERE.

“Lent refers to the lengthening of light and the turn toward springtime.”
