I regret that my Lenten discipline has been very poor. Mea culpa! I have been idle and evasive, rationalizing my failure .. to no avail.
I thought maybe I should do a job lot to catch up.
Each glimpse is attached to a stirring memory. I have tried to broaden my scope – bit worried about the number of snakes that feature!
By the way, I remember what Glimpse 5 was: Michelangelo’s David – perfect art!
This post covers days 22 to 38 to catch up (Day 40 is Holy Thursday.)

23 A headless puffadder trying to strike the hand holding its tail.

Sadly not. It has deep meaning for me as I attended with my Dad, who was a profound Swazi linguist and probably the only mlungu who knew the words and the significance of the song. He also sang very well. Aargh! I have tears in my eyes.
