Lent takes care of the 40 days ahead. But what if we look back 40 days?
That takes us to some point on the journey home, for the Three Wise Men, aka Magi, after Epiphany.
Here’s how I picture them, just a tiny bit lost, near the Royal Free hospital:
Google Maps with embellishments
‘A cold coming we had of it,
Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, and such a long journey:
The ways deep and the weather sharp,
The very dead of winter.’
- TS Eliot, Journey of the Magi
But Easter is in our sights! Flowers! Sunshine!
