Gratitude #138 - 157

140. Discovering how awesome the farmer's market around the corner is

141. Also discovering how insanely good fresh parmesan cheese is

142. A writing corner in my room

143. Devotions for Lent

144.  This poem:

Is this a Fast, to keep
The larder lean?
And clean
From fat of veals and sheep?
Is it to quit the dish
Of flesh, yet still
To fill
The platter high with fish?
Is it to fast an hour;
Or ragg’d to go,
Or show
A down-cast look and sour?
No:  ‘tis a Fast to dole
Thy sheaf of wheat
And meat
Unto the hungry soul,
It is to fast from strife
And old debate,
And hate;
To circumcise thy life.
To show a heart grief-rent;
To starve thy sin,
Not bin;
And that’s to keep thy Lent. 

By Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
