Lent

Today, I learned that purple is a traditional Lenten colour. It's also used at Advent, in a time of fasting.

Funny, because I've been craving purple the last week or three...and, while I had worried just a little about wearing colours too bright or rich for such a penitential season, I'm not so worried after all. It's spring soon! This season--in school AND in church year--lends itself to a rich, deep purple, one that soothes and calms a stressed-about-school heart and at the same time inspires action and determination, and deeper joy.

I guess I found a
colour for this ache, eh?
