  Advent is feeling more like an extended Ash Wednesday this year. More like Kaddish or sitting Shiva...a very Old Testament Advent that seems more connected to sorrow than to the Coming of Christ. Maybe its the inseparable nature of Christmas and Easter, of Advent and Lent... vivified. I am grateful to have Advent brought to the fore... here. More please.
