Shrove Tuesday is also “pancake day” when in the Christian tradition, rich foods like eggs sugar and butter are used up by making pancakes.
So let us join the dance of feast and famine, being very mindful of where we dance, why we do so, how we dance and with whom we partner.
WHERE this might happen: in a neighbourhood, in a church gathering, in homes.
WHY we dance: to very intentionally celebrate the many gifts we have been given.
HOW might we dance? We might just decide to loiter with intent with someone with whom we have not spent time in a long while.
With whom might we dance? It might be with a grandchild playing a child’s game or an elderly person playing an elderly person’s game or it might be just talking with someone and listening to their story.
