The Nudge to 1986

Lent and late winter musings

Musings. What a funny word to attach to the title of this post, from the Latin family mussitatio. From Webster’s 1828 dictionary: “The word then primarily denotes what we call humming, to hum, as persons do when idle, or alone and steadily occupied.” It also reflects pondering, thinking closely, studying in silence, meditating upon God (Ps 143:5), wonderment, and ‘to be so occupied in study or contemplation, as not to observe passing scenes or things present.’”

I am starved of musings. I hardly know what it means anymore.
