I am going to try to do a Lenten discipline of reading scripture and offering a creative response. The creative response will likely be a short form poem, but who knows! I may get really wild.You are welcome to join the journey. This is not a challenge, but it is a resource to prompt your own journey. If you would like me to list your blog here, I am happy to do so. Just drop a note into the comments.
The scripture readings are the second tab on this blog or http://cloakedmonk.com/lenten-haiku-journey/ .
Shalom,
Terri

Becca Givens reblogged this post. So very pleased to find you! I would like for you to list my blog: http://granbee.wordpress.com. I will definitely be following along with you during Lent. I may need to do the Sunday and Monday ones together, okay? I have clicked to “follow” you and get email notifications of each days post. Wondrous love, this is!
Wonderful! Glad to have you. I’m going to make a blog roll of participants. Sunday and Monday combined is fine. Whatever works for your own spiritual needs/growth/practices.
And that is one of my favorite hymns!

I’d like to join the lenten journey sounds intriguing.
Welcome aboard!
Can you post a link to your blog? Or if you like, you can post your journey in the comments.
Becca was so kind to explain me Lent … and I will try to join you in this period preparing for Easter.
I am such a church geek I forgot about defining Lent. It is not something all church traditions participate in! Welcome aboard.
On of my Facebook friends said she was giving up Facebook for Lent—and she has! I replied: “I’m giving up Lent.” Not really, but if something is worth giving up for 40 days, isn’t it worth getting it out of your life for good—sort of a de-cluttering operation ? But I digress. My real reason for writing is to say that I am delighted that you are “haiku-ing” your way through Lent. (Because I believe that my poetic talents are God-given, I would never ever consider giving up haiku for Lent.) Probably more than you wanted to know…
Wonderful! Sometimes Lent is about taking on an additional practice rather than giving something up, too!

Hi, I have written a haiku for the Lent Haiku Journey. I have published it on my poetryblog. There I will publish all (if I succeed) the haiku for Lent Haiku Journey.
Thanks for the invitation Terri.
Wonderful! Much love and grace to you.
Thank you Terri. It will become a tough Journey I think, because I am not so into the Christian belief. Love to be a part of this Lent Haiku Journey.
Perhaps you can read it as wisdom readings without attaching to the tradition.
Although I am attached to the Christian tradition, I am not a traditionalist. Does that even make sense?
I have published a haiku for Lent Haiku Journey day 2. Please be welcome to read and comment.
