Was anyone expecting a comic today? I know I wasn’t, and I made the thing. This is the result of a good conversation this morning. Long walks are much easier with a conversation, especially when that conversation is about art… and life, mostly creative stuff. I love my brotherhood, but as of now, it IS missing a creative element. Thanks to Jonathan Pageau, that may be changing. I didn’t really know too much about him before, but the connections are more important than the content. Mr. Pageau and his guests were waaayyy above my league. The room was filled with readers and creators, writers, artists, historians, all incredibly smart and talented people. So, what was I doing there? (I am talking about an even I attended a couple of weeks ago) I was forming connections with people. Conversations. Most of it “high level”, but I do have to realize with my background, there are some things I shouldn’t talk about, so its best we get as close to the heart as possible.

One connection has become a friend. While I am getting in shape for an upcoming adventure, this friend has become morning conversations and long walks. Over the phone sadly, but its easier to connect this way. We both have lives, and some are busier than others. This is Great Lent, so I do not expect much work to be done. Even my preparation exercises are not going to net me gains, but they are still necessary. There is something to be said about losing weight and feeling better. The conversation and exercise made a natural segue into this comic. There MAY be a collaberation in a bit, but the more I talk about something the less chance it has of success. Just as well, this first week of Great Lent means more services, more reading, and a few more things that need not be mentioned. Until I found the “true” Church, Lent didn’t meant anything, now its a terrible and great thing, as it leads to the Resurrection, rather it brings (us) me back to the Resurrection. A proper reorientation to the Eternal.

I am not qualified to speak any more of that matter, on very few matters. I pray you all a Great Lent, and may God forgive us all.
