A Message from our Pastor
                         Dear Parishioners,

                         The following is a poem by Jane Kenyon, who was New Hampshire’s poet laureate in 1995.

                                               Walking Alone in the Late Winter
                                          How long the winter has lasted – like a Mahler
                                           symphony, or an hour in the dentist’s chair.
                                                In the fields the grasses are matted
                                          and gray, making me think of June, when hay
                                          and vetch burgeon in the heat, and warm rain
                                               swells the globed buds of the peony.

                                          Ice on the pond breaks into huge planes. One
                                            sticks like a barge gone away at the neck
                                                      of the bridge…The reeds
                                                and shrubby brush along the shore
                                            gleam with ice that shatters when breeze
                                                moves them. From beyond the bog
                                               the sound of water rushing over trees
                                                   felled by the zealous beavers,
                                          who bring them crashing down….Sometimes
                                                  it seems they do it just for fun.

                                                Those days of anger and remorse
                                          come back to me; you fidgeting with your ring,
                                             sliding it off, then jabbing it on again.

                                              The wind is keen coming over the ice;
                                              it carries the sound of breaking glass.
                                               And the sun, bright but not warm,
                                            has gone behind the hill. Chill, or the fear
                                                of chill, sends me hurrying home.

I believe Ms. Kenyon captures the mood of many people at this time of year, when winter seems to have worn out its
welcome and is good for nothing more than surfacing painful experiences from our past, as it does for her – memories …
those days of anger and remorse.

Perhaps this is not a bad thing, however. Perhaps this is how the lingering days of
this harsh and barren season can help us to enter into Lent, which begins on March
2. If the word Lent means “springtime,” and springtime is about new life, particularly
the new life of Easter, these final days of winter (which are also within the Lenten
season) might serve us well precisely by surfacing some of those bleak and painful
memories from our past that still haunt us for whatever reason. Bringing these to
light might be the opportunity we need to rid ourselves of them once and for all in
order to make room for the experience of new life.

The discipline of Lent, with its call to conversion and change of heart, is most profitable if we do the hard work of
examining our lives. Self- examination demands courageous honesty so that it can be a catalyst for growth and not
merely an exercise of selective remembering. As we allow the ice on the pond of our lives to break into planes so that the
sound of rushing water might be heard again, we make ourselves ready for that sun, which at this time is bright but not
warm, in the words of our poet. The sun’s warmth will fill us at Easter when, in the boldest proclamation that human

beings have ever made, we rejoice in the victory of life over death, first experienced in Jesus and now promised to us.

Why not take advantage of winter’s last hurrah, and make our hearts ready to welcome the springtime of new life that
foreshadows the Eternal Life of God, already making inroads into our world.

                        Blessings,

                                                                               A Request for Sewing Help

  From the Parish Nurse
                                                                    Sleep and Heart Health
                                                       Along with diet and exercise, good sleep is crucial when
                                                       it comes to heart health. The reverse is also true: the
                                                       same lifestyle measures that reduce the risk of heart
                                                       disease promote good sleep.

 How does sleep affect heart health?
 Studies show that short sleep duration or poor sleep quality are associated with high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol
 levels. Habitual short sleep increases the chance of heart attack, stroke, or cardiac arrest.

 Not getting enough restful sleep is also correlated with:
  *Poor diet/weight gain           *Stroke, heart attack and death
  *Diabetes                        *High blood sugar associated with diabetes
  *Inflammation

 People with common sleeping disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea or insomnia also are far more likely to have heart
 arrhythmias, plaque buildup, heart failure and coronary artery disease than the general public.

 In most people, blood pressure dips during sleep. However, that doesn’t always happen in people with Type 1 narcolepsy.
 Although more research is needed in this area, some suggest that this may increase the risk for heart problems.

 Lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise may reduce the risk of heart disease, both directly and indirectly, by fostering
 better sleep. This, in turn, may lead to a better outlook and more energy – the very best kind of feedback loop.

 What should I do if I have problems sleeping?
 The CDC advises people to:
 *Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, weekends included.
  (My body clock wakes me up at 5:30 am no matter what day it is!)
 *Sleep in a dark, quiet place set at a comfortable temperature. We sleep better in cooler room temperatures.
 *Ban electronic devices from the bedroom. These can interfere with sleep.
 *Avoid caffeine, alcohol and large meals before hitting the pillow. These stimulants will keep you awake.
 *Exercise. Physical activity during the day makes it easier to fall asleep at night.

 Talk with your doctor or health care professional if you have symptoms of a sleep disorder or have tried such measures and
 still can’t get to sleep.
