Iona Abbey, Scotland

I’ve had the opportunity to go and spend time on the island of Iona, sharing in community with members of the Iona Community and with fellow travelers. The island of Iona is a rocky island off the west coast of Scotland. The Iona Community is an international, Christian peace and justice community centered in the ancient abbey on that island. As we begin Lent, we turn inward to remember that we belong to a community and are responsible to the family of earth brothers and sisters. Peace be with us all.

Venice/Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday, the day after Fat Tuesday, marks the beginning of Lent and the end to Carnival. The masks come off and the annual pilgrimage begins toward Easter. Venice is just the right place to celebrate this process with its long history of Carnival and the decadence of it. I love Venice and the moodiness of it. It changes with the seasons and celebrates the changes in life like the moving tides.
