I apologize for being late with my essay this week. I have no excuse other than the one that we all have these days, that of the world being turned upside down.

This week I am joining in a collaboration with several other writer friends from The Habit forum to search out the beauty that can be found (although sometimes one must look deeply and long) in this season of late winter and early spring.

Click here to read my essay and then linger awhile to read the wisdom and goodness offered by my friends. Blessings on all of you in this Holy Week, my friends. May you sense the presence of our Lord in more tangible ways than usual.
