Diary 335

Wednesday, February 17th

Today was Ash Wednesday, if you celebrate such things as days of contemplation and repentance, and the world seems to have provided a few reminders. Mt Etna has erupted, spectacularly, in Italy; the former ‘president’s’ casino in Atlantic City has been demolished (blown up, actually, with jubilant on-lookers paying $10 a time to watch), and Rush Limbaugh died. Dust and ashes seem to be everywhere.

Some things are ending, preparing for new, better things to arrive. Mt Etna reminds us the destruction and renewal are constantly with us.
