Lent (and lenten seasons of life) is about nurturing a posture that holds all things lightly, that ensures that our passions are subject to us and not the other way around. But Lent is a season that many of us fail to appreciate, in part because we’ve grown up with the impression that it is a time of vaguely spiritualized gloominess.
