I'm focusing this Lent on giving up the illusions that are not of God - even the dreams and visions that I love. Seeking to walk closer with Christ, bury those things, even those good things, that are not His will now - or ever - but looking forward to seeing what beauty emerges from the tomb:
"Burying our illusions with the body of God, we mourn our losses and lament over the graves of dead dreams and expectations, hopes and visions. We stand in painful, faithful disillusionment. But so we stand aware that we may be equally startled by what emerges from the tomb."
