Poem 43 - pancake day

Cake day before lent

Too many past feasts linger 

so I'll have salad

Now for the Rant......

Well, it's been interesting to see to see what you have to say before you know what I think! I was waiting to be told I'm sloppy for not quoting my source...and no-one told me :)

The blog is "no new shoes"

I have never celebrated lent and I can't say I'm going to start now but thought that my regular anti-consumption rant fitted nicely with the premise of lent. Correct me if I'm wrong but lent is about forgoing something as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice?

I have told you that I love fashion (one of the most wasteful and vacuous industries around) and I have lots of other hedonistic tendencies so I can't suggest that you give up your snacks or your golf(Brian) or your music (attenuator)

I can say that I hope that I live my everyday life in a spirit of mindful consumption.....for me everyday should encompass a tiny bit of lent.

Was that too preachy?
