Lenten Presence

Ashes in a cup

Western Alaska’s gain of six minutes of sunlight each day is both literally and liturgically a season of darkness turning to light. Spring starts slowly in the sub-Arctic; risk factors of poor mental health and even suicide tend to be elevated in bush Alaska at this time of year.
