Poem of Lament

Lament pose

Laying flat on the wet ground
rain washes over me.
The earth girds me 
from underneath.

My tears mix with
showers from the sky.
Somehow this pain
will leave me

soaking into the soil.


We hope that this has brought you some comfort and joy. If this has been meaningful for you please like, comment or share this with others. 


And in case you missed it, we wrote a book! Comfort and Joy: Readings and Practices for Advent may be a wonderful companion for you this holiday season. If you are looking for something new, Unhappy Holidays: Blessings for a Blue Christmas is a newly released Advent devotional written by Sherah-Leigh as a gentle guide for those dreading the coming weeks.

Stay-at-home-Jill-of-all-trades I am hoping to create connections with people and the world around me, while being creatively engaged in what is happening right in front of my nose!
