“Remember you are dust, and to dust you will return..”
–Roman Catholic liturgy for Ash Wednesday

“We are stardust.”
–Joni Mitchell, Back to the Garden

Dear ones,

Today is both Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent in many Christian calendars, celebrated in Catholic congregations by the imposition of ashes on the foreheads of the faithful to the words above) and Valentine’s Day. Maybe listen to Joni Mitchell or your favorite love songs, remember that we come from dust and will return to it, and be sure to love on all the beings you love in all the ways you know how. (Maybe not all in one day!)

Yours in love, ashes, and all the sparkly dust,

Rev. Denise
