Awake

How do you wake up? Do you need a gradual transition or can you simply hop out of bed ready for action? Do you need you morning caffeine as we wake ourselves before our bodies are really ready? What does it take to get us going? It is one thing to be upright and going through the motions, but it is something more and entirely different to be truly awake. To be aware of what is around us and able to grasp what needs to be done. Lent is like a Spring awakening as things that were dormant stir and come to life. The real question for us is not about what gets us out of bed, but what do we need in our lives to make us feel truly alive. What are the parts of our selves that have fallen asleep and need invigoration? As we delve deeper we seek what makes us go and what might move us into our full selves, aware, awake and alive.
