I'm part of a lovely online spiritual "community of practice" called The Commons. It is the brainchild of Rev. Jim Keat and Rev. Cameron Trimble of Convergence. They both have many other projects and affiliations, but this is the one they have in common.
Rev. Jim lead a group the other day, and our time together ended writing 3 haikus, one about our life, one about our faith, and one about ourselves as individuals. They all need "some work" (especially number 3, though maybe it just needs a companion poem, with more kind self-talk. 😏 But its taking me forever to get back into writing, so the plan is to post whatever I get, in the hopes that it spurs me on to write more. (If someone is actually reading this and you have your own poetry online, I'd love to read it - or you can just leave one as a comment. Thank you!)
I.
Living in the now.
At least that's what I try for
Doesn't always work though
II.
Gratefulness is key
Attention to God's blessings
Patience with my flaws
III.
Very imperfectYet still with an open heart
Seeking connection
