Lent and Rest
It’s been a while since i wrote on here but I’ve had a really good but busy time lately. some friends came to visit, and we spent a lot of time outside. We also visited a few churches together, which was honestly really nice. it felt good to be out of the usual routine for a bit, just moving around and doing normal things, not sitting inside all day.
After that lent started, and i’ve been staying busy with that too. having something structured to focus on helps
i’ve also been drawing again. Not the usual colorful things i used to make, but still something. it feels nice to draw again, even if it’s different now.
Lent has been going well overall. it feels more intentional this year. I’m not doing anything dramatic for this year, just trying to be consistent and stay disciplined.
The only setback is that i got really sick recently, so i’m mostly recovering at the moment. i’ve been staying in bed more than i’d like.
Before i got sick, we visited some churches again and i got to talk with a few monks, which i really appreciated. i don’t always know what to say in those conversations, but i like listening.
for now, i’m just resting and waiting to get fully better.
