Entering Lent

There is something so special about the season of Lent for me.  The focused opportunity for introspection, reflection and renewal really speaks strongly to me.  The journey to the cross is always very special to me.  I hope to share some poetry and prose that help me to go deeper, and grow deeper in my love for Christ.

Seeking and Finding

Making space

Loving silence

Encouraging stillness

Seeking peace

Learning to be fully alive

Listening to the life

for which we were created

Finding solace

Connecting--spirit to spirit

Refocusing the lens

Through which we view the world

That can become dull and lifeless

Through our sin and shortcoming

Taking time to adjust the lens

To alter or enhance our perspective

To renew a brighter view

Allowing the distorted to become clear

Surrounded by noise

A constant battering of sound

Distracting the holy and sacred

Disrupting the silence

Creating space

Between empty and open

Or empty and closed up

Or empty and closed in

Observing the patterns

That awakens the discovery

Of ourselves

Of each other

Unearthing the face

Of the One we seek
