As if that‘s not enough, it‘s also the start of MLB spring training.

This is the second book of poetry I‘ve read by Malcolm Guite—I discovered his poetry in 2020, through a series of sonnets he wrote on the Psalms, which spoke to me so deeply during that time. This collection is likewise full of well-crafted sonnets, these corresponding to the liturgical calendar. There is a series for the Stations of the Cross and one for Advent that were particularly meaningful to me. I‘ll be going back to these again and again.

Purpleness You‘ve sent me down a rabbit trail looking up his poems! I can see I‘m going to have order at least one of his collections. 10mo
BarbaraJean @Purpleness 💜 I just love his work! The tagged book is the series on the Psalms that I mentioned. SO good. If you haven't already discovered his blog, take a look: https://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/blog/ He usually posts poems applicable to the day/church season/etc., along with recordings of him reading the poems. I've found it a delight to follow! 10mo

1. Exercise obsessed. Always have been. Go to ballet class whenever & wherever. Been dancing since I was 9. I stopped when I was married. No wonder that didn‘t last. 2. Stretching with a 🍷 on 🩰 free nights. Stretching for me takes at least 2 glasses & I can stretch for hrs. 3. I ❤️ a foreign 🎥 & how they never quite end right, that‘s more realistic than Hollywood. Reading the screen keeps me awake. If I lay down I am asleep but only after dark.

Eggs Love the stretching 🙆‍♀️. And yes, I too like the un-happily-forever-after of Fellini et al. 11mo

Now to the gate of my Jerusalem,
The seething holy city of my heart,
The Saviour comes. But will I welcome him?

…Jesus, come
Break my resistance and make me your home.

Since I couldn‘t be with my family this Easter, I decided to spend some time reflecting on some of the women in the story. I read the Women of Christmas not too long ago, and this is just as insightful. It‘s amazing to me how trained our brains are to see the women in the stories as background, when in reality they had some of the most key story points.

BookBabe Yes, I‘ve noticed that too! #stacked 🙌🏻 2y
