It is Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Tuesday, feittirsdag, Fat Tuesday......or, what do you call today? The day before Ash Wednesday and Lent? Today´s traditional dinner in The House in the Woods is salt pork and mashed root vegetables.
It is so easy to celebrate the happy feastday. The days when we do something extra.....because we deserve it. We always deserve something extra, don´t we?
But what about the other days. The days of Lent. The days of sharing.
The days to do something for others.....because they deserve.
Ever since I wrote the book about Lent, it has been my mission to live Lent, to live simple. To take care. To pay forward.
I wonder where this path will take me this year.
The road less travelled.

In Blåklokkeveien yesterday I shared a moment at a museum in Brussel, a museum where I went to see Peter Bruegel´s paintings. While googling Shrove Tuesday today I came over another Bruegel painting -
the fight between carnival and lent
He got the point Bruegel.
It is a fight,
and I hope both of them win
a time for everything
