W E E K S I X - Disappointment Lenten Creative Practice . As we approach the final moments of Lent, we are forced to grapple with the inevitable disappointment within the Christian story. Good Friday looms ahead, the body of the man who did everything right hangs from a cross, abandoned by God, by followers, friends. . This week in your work, contemplate the disappointment of the cross. Use your poetry, your art, to explore new aspects of this story you've heard so many times -- is there anything new for you to discover under the dark shadow of this cross? Merge your own experience with the ancient story: what role has disappointment played in your own experience? See whether there are any contrasting themes you can discover -- as Redon portrayed the sky behind the cross in lively, playful blue, perhaps revealing a kind hope lingering behind the disappointment, behind his back and out of sight, but near. .

W E E K F I V E - COMMUNITY Lenten Creative Practice . Together we practice Lent. Together we acknowledge that "from dust we are and shall return." Together we consider the beauty and the failings of human life, and the promises of present and future redemption. We also live in the tension of two identities: we are individuals, but we are also a community, a people, humanity. "No man is an island," (Thomas Merton). What can we learn from this mystery of communion? . This week in your poetry, write about your community. Write about them, write to them, write against them, write for them, write among them. What faces do you see? Whose voices do you hear? What are they saying, and how do you want to respond? .
