I am so moved by your reimagining of Psalm 37. I gave a longer comment on it in Rebecca Martin's Lent post. I tried to tag you but it wouldn't let me. I comment on a connection to a poem called "Psalm 37 in Auschwitz." Thank you for your Lent with Van Gogh. I have not had the bandwidth to do a more traditional Lent study. Everything has been too hard to focus on the crucified Christ, so what you and Rebecca are doing is stepping into that gap for me and many others.
Kellie, this is such an encouragement to me. There have been some Lents I couldn't enter into at all. One year it felt like Lent started on Monday of Holy Week and extended the into the next six weeks.
I am grateful Rebecca's and my offerings have met you where you are. Take good care 💛
"Instead
He murmurs, as if he contains starlings."
Oh. That's an image I need to sit with for a while. I love it so much.
Thank you, Melanie. I just had to play with that whole murmuration of starlings thing. #pluralnounsrule
The part about building a zoo ❤️
I knew someone would get it. That someone is you.

I love this: "He murmurs, as if he contains starlings."
Thank you!
To really get it, read it over a couple of times.
Oh Megan what a wonderful response. I love your reflections and art inspired poetry is the best.
It's something I've been doing more of lately. What I like is that it inspires poems that couldn't reach me any other way.
I love that a project comes from pain/confusion. This is how I work, too (after the blanket and the mug of tea, of course).
