Where the Wild Things Are: A Lenten Series “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” by Sid Hall Readings: Psalm 23 William Bridges, The Way of Transition: Embracing Life’s Most Difficult Moments (2001), pp. 80-81Psalm 73 Lent is a time in the life of a spiritual community where we focus on the in-between-ness of life, a time when it feels like the Spirit has cast us into wilderness. Like Max in the children’s book Where the Wild Things Are, we rarely enter into wilderness deliberately or enthusiastically. But wild things come whether we want them or not. What if, like Max, we discover that the monsters are just as afraid of us as we are of them? What if we can befriend the monsters and re-purpose their energies to create the building blocks for what is next—and necessary—on our journey?
