A Different Season

days of fasting overlap prayers offered to fill a gap in lives surrounded by a wrap of tradition and modern seditions today, Lent and Ramadan bring times of reflection and for some, to sing folks set aside the mundane, for a better thing to live special days, mingled with cherished conditions like ships passing in the night sojourners waiting for the morning light take time to reflect on another’s might seeking the Divine with community renditions

thanks Daniel, Ramadan works on about a thirty year cycle. Lent always falls in the early part of the year. Many parallels but also so many contrasts such as what constitutes fasting. We have a real problem of diabetic people gaining weight during Ramadan but not for Lent. So many challenges for such precious people. And Shalom is most fitting. Thank you.
