Watercolor Wednesday: The way is narrow (Ash Wednesday)

Ash Wednesday, Leo Boucher

High Days and Holidays, Watercolor Wednesdays

On this first day of Lent, I’m happy again to post this painting by my dad, which he’s entitled:

Matthew 7:14 “…the way is narrow that leads to life…” Ash Wednesday to Good Friday to Easter

What images in it speak to you? What do you see? What might God be saying to you through it?

I invite you to revel in the sound of rushing water, knowing that Jesus says that those who believe in him will have streams of living water flow from within them. Filled here at lovely @ashburnhamplace

My last batch of photos from the amazing @mccabepi

My last batch of photos from the amazing @mccabepilgrim pilgrimage/retreat to Iona! (I figure I’d better share these before I lead a retreat at Penhurst Retreat Centre next week...)

Such a wonderful time - so much so that I’ll be leading again next year (31 March to 5 April); more details to come from McCabe.

1. Iona Abbey is centuries old and so beautiful.
2. St Columba - his symbol is the dove.
3. The west coast of Iona - it’s not normally this calm...
4. The calm before Storm Kathleen!
5. Spring flowers are so glorious. I got to see another batch of daffodils, as the ones in London are long over.
6. You’d think you’re in the Caribbean with waters so clear and blue - but for the brisk and chilly wind!
7.-9. The ruins of the the Nunnery (some of the best preserved ruins, as Cromwell didn’t wield his destruction that far north).
10. SUCH a fun flight home. I was ‘that person’ who sat in the wrong seat (a row ahead of my assigned seat) upon boarding. The American whose seat I was in wasn’t very pleased, but it provided an opening to the father/daughter seating in the row behind me when I moved back. He was a fascinating guy to talk with - a pilot for private planes, with many famous clients whom he shared some fun stories about. As we were chatting I saw this fabulous person walking down the aisle and I exclaimed (I was a bit hyped up after the intense week): My favourite craftsman! Do you recognize Rob from “Sort Your Life Out” and “Interior Design Masters”? (Those who aren’t able to get BBC programmes, you won’t know him.) He was sitting in the aisle seat just behind me, and was so lovely to talk with - he’s just as nice and genuine as on TV. He shared some amazing stories too. I was delighted to fully embrace my enthusiastic American self and introduce Rob to Gregor the pilot. Such fun.

Releasing and receiving… a practice I embraced when on the island of Iona recently with fellow pilgrims.

I welcome you to select two stones and use them as a means of releasing to God something that is weighing on you – a burden, a relationship, etc. Throw it into the body of water and then receive whatever God has for you.
