I write about many things: sobriety; spirituality; life examination; a layman’s take on politics; photography; the craft of writing. If you’ve been following my writing over the years, you’ve suffered my eclectic bag of words. Thank you.

We’re moving into Lent, a season in which I’m bound to write about silent spirituality and the search for quiet wisdom. That is, after all, what Lent has come to mean to me. It is a time to reflect on my own brashness, my penchant toward noise, my duplicity (which is nothing more than a fancy way for noting my own hypocrisy).

Beginning on Ash Wednesday, I’ll stretch into the quiet examination of Lent. I’m marking the season with a 40 day fast from Twitter and Facebook. I’ll be turning my digital energy back here, a place I’ve neglected too long. Consider joining me in the fast. Consider joining me on the journey, too. Let’s see what we’ll find in the quieter spaces. And if you need a guide this Lenten season, might I suggest grabbing a copy of The Book of Waking Up: Experiencing the Divine Love that Reorders a Life? There is something discretely Lenten in those pages, something that might guide you from any old addiction and toward true sobriety.
