Some days

Why is it
that some days
you can’t find
what day it is,

and others
you can find
the deepest
spiritual truths?

About this poem. 

Yesterday I got my days confused, and wrote today’s poem, skipping the one that was supposed to be for yesterday, on the word “find”. That got me thinking about why it is sometimes we are wise, and some days we are foolish.

I hate to say it but I kept coming up to one of my favorite sayings… “because he’s God and we’re not.”

About these Lenten Poems

My friend Cathy Benson is on to something. Instead of doing without for Lent, she is doing MORE with a prayer project that is thoughtful and caring.

Giving up something for Lent is a church tradition, not a biblical command. It was designed to get our minds and hearts right as we approach the holy week and Easter. It’s a good spiritual discipline.

But I think a spiritual discipline of doing something more is also a powerful way to prepare our hearts for Easter. The Methodists, through their “Rethink Church” initiative have come up with a photographic way to do this (see below). I am going to add a poem with each image for the lent season to help prepare myself. Feel free to glom on to the idea, visit the blog and read, or share your thoughts and prayers.
