When are mortality and regrets NOT on our minds?
I will be too busy at work today for ashes. Besides, I always wipe them off before I leave the church, mindful of the Gospel for this day.
Instead of a meditation, here is a movie, Orson Welles' ruined masterpiece, The Magnificent Ambersons, one of the greatest meditations on mortality and regret ever:

Thanks for sharing. :)
hmmmmm..... Lent is like a koan.... like the sound of one hand clapping.... like a fish seeing water.... when a forgiven people whose sins have been thrown as far away as east is to west confess sin and beg for mercy.... A koan.
A good thought as we begin this introspective time. I echo the thanks from toujoursdan.
