I introduced the concept of Lent to my nephews over supper.  I hadn’t signed off on either wheat or meditation although I had abstained from the former and practiced the latter that morning just to cover my bases.  The boys were eagerly engaged in the debate with Number 1 proposing he give up reading.  Number  2 volunteered to give up salad.

In the end I will be giving up the early morning hours to meditation and Neph 1 will stop biting his lip and Neph 2 will stop chewing his nails – happily I dealt with my oral fixations many Lents ago.

Waking a full hour and a half earlier than my normal time is my most ambitious Sadhana yet.  And I passed on the maple tart dessert??  What have I set myself up for?
