Ash Wednesday,
Went to get my Ashes today, from ashes to ashes from dust to dust, nothing like getting some blessed carbon thumbed onto the center of your face to remind you to love your neighbour. I arrived at the important part so I wandered awkwardly up to the altar and had to elbow my place amongst the elderly types, all of us looking like a row of genuflecting eggs proudly displaying our clean foreheads, the bald men had a air of superiority about them. The Priest arrived in front of me, meaningfully pushed his thumb into the cup, and proceeded to paint my head when the elderly man's elbow next to me slipped off the marble and nudged me to the left, I now look like I am sponsored by Nike.
