A New Tack
The Lenten practice that first alerted me to the fact that it was okay to add something for Lent rather than just give something up was a ministry colleague who wrote a daily piece of haiku poetry based on a Lenten daily lectionary. I'm not following a daily lectionary, but the idea of writing a few pieces of haiku to sum up my day, has some appeal. So, here are a few....perhaps with a bit of explanation. I think I mentioned the Easter Drama Day Camp which was the main agenda item for yesterday. Here it is a new day, and other work awaited, so:
Day camp now over
other tasks await my ken
a blog entry too!
And a haiku for a spring(!) weekend:
Seasons meet these days
Lent and Spring come together
bringing us light twice.
And finally, a couple of haiku answering questions about the purpose of these blog entries:
Where is God in this
the theologian's query
and God helps answer.
Blogger says good night
Haikus achieve the object
of saying something!

The last time I wrote some haiku as a creative outlet was in Kelowna at General Council 40.
