Ash Wednesday for Dreamers of Hidden Desires

As the new buds of spring emerged from the darkness below with all their glorious vibrant colour, so we to begin to show the early signs of what is to become. It seems that we need new beginnings, or everything eventually devolves and declines into unnecessary and sad endings. We were made for so much more! So today we must pray for the desire to desire! Even if we do not feel it yet, ask for new and even unknown desires. For we will eventually get what we really desire. I promise you. It is the all of everything doing the desiring at our deepest level. Therefore we will get nothing less than what we really desire, and almost surely much more. The everything we are part of desires through us and longs for Life and Love through us and in us. Allow it, speak it, and you will find your place in the universe of things. We cannot begin to desire something if we have not already slightly tasted it. Now take a deep breath and make that deep and hidden desire conscious, deliberate, and wholehearted. Make your desires good and far-reaching on this Ash Wednesday of new beginnings. And remember new beginnings invariably come from the ashes of old false things that are allowed to die. Let go of what you no longer need on your journey to make space for the new which is waiting for you round the next corner.
