Tody in New Orleans is "12th Night" otherwise know for the first official parade of the Mardi Gras season. Tonight a club known as the Phorty Phunny Phellows (many more than forty, and including gals — "Revelers na mBan", I would think — as well) will "parade" and party while riding on the Street Cars that operate in the city.
And of course, as you point out true meaning of the Epiphany comes from accepting the opportunity and gift of change that was given at Christmas.
This lessor celebration for recognizing the coming of Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, is however something that can be experienced by those that are not held prisoner by addictions; one of the many minor gifts that can be enjoyed today. But alas, I am here in Saint Louis resting up form a day at work and not at play, yet still being comforted by the Light.
God’s speed. Stay strong. Stay guided by the Light of your higher Power, and of your recovery. LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G’s – God, GA, and GT, "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all , I will continue to remain gambling free.
