As we begin the Lenten Journey this year, I am in the midst of a sabbatical. My beloved congregation of St. Luke's sent me off in January with a celebratory cake (we love cake at my parish) decorated with the words:
Rest - Renewal - Joy
For the past two months I have been living into these comfortable words. I have been spending my time in rest, prayer, contemplation, reading, retreat, and creation. I have also been writing--mostly poetry.
As I continue to honor this time of re-creation and in order to allow space for my current writing endeavor, I will not be writing and publishing new meditations on a daily basis on this blog. However, I have curated meditations from previous years which I will send out via email this Lent. You can subscribe to emails via the link in the right column of this blog.
It is quite possible (as it always is with me) that I may miss a day here and there. And, who knows, there may be a new meditation here and there as well.
