Last Wednesday evening I turned on the TV to watch Law and Order:SVU. I get caught up in watching several of the crime shows as I enjoy seeing the mystery unravel. Lately, I have wanted to stop because the crimes are always graphically described and involve horrific abuse against women and children – hence the name SVU – Special Victims Unit. The images mess with my mind and soul too much.
We have entered the Lent period, which I regard as a unique time for reflection; we begin to leave the cold, dark winter months and enter the spring. I am turning the TV off and plan to use that time to listen to music, read, work on my writing, and get out snail mail or emails to family and friends.
Seeking the Spark 
The graphic nature is disturbing; I love the mystery, so have tried other shows. I’m glad you are turning to a creative, and reflective, outlet!
