Lenten Reflection

Self-denial is the doorway
that leads us closer to God.
To lose oneself is to gain
a deeper intimacy with Christ.

Self-doubt is the window 
through which the devil
makes his entrance.

    This is exactly how fasting during lent was explained to us in Catholic school, Ellen. I take it we share the same religious background and I can relate to the message in this poem and I wholeheartedly agree with the second verse as well. I'm sorry "The Enigma" hit close to home for you -- it was based on a relationship I had. It's a painful situation to be in, isn't it? But for the booze, I think we might have been happy together. Love, Carolyn
