Write your own psalm?

Or try to write a psalm poem?

Yes. Some of us use it and noticed it seemed to have morphed into a kind of liturgical Time Machine. 🙂

And if any scammy types should be lurking, I never use these for online purposes. 😒

Ooh! Remember the knitted sisters. I’m booking for later in the year.

And while we’re talking coffee shops, I’ve pulled out a ‘poetry prompt,’ I enjoyed writing for #NaPoWriMo four years ago.

I actually look forward to writing them!

Can’t put my hand on my heart and say I’m following all of The Artist’s Way, but I have found the morning pages habit remarkably easy to establish.
#writing, #morningpages

Wishing you a peaceful stay. I was there last autumn and hope to return for a couple of days later in the year.

I write my poetry in coffee shops;
amongst steamy stanzas wreathed with cinnamon.
A chorus of freshly-ground beans chant
“Mocha, Latte, Americano, Macchiato,”
while sweet sestinas soar
high above the crowded cabaret of packed pannini
who jostle for recognition, crying
“Eat me! Eat me!”

I can appreciate the motivations but in 1971 I longed to have a bra, certainly wasn’t about to burn it!

Wrapped, wrapped, not something that sounds like an unfortunate encounter with the fruit bowl.😕

Well yes. Not as embarrassing as my Spotify Wrapled, thank goodness.

I think that might be the seed for so many Midnight Mass Sermons. It says it all, doesn’t it?

This.

Don’t know answer to that but some of us find C of E Daily Prayer (blue app) helpful and you can switch btw contemporary and traditional versions.

Psalms of Lament: Haikus of Hope - Wild Goose Publications Haikus based on the Psalms of Lament, a daily practice of prayer, listening and creativity. The authors also encourage us to find our own creative voice.

Great news! Psalms of Lament: haikus of Hope by @emmuk74.bsky.social , Amanda Holt and myself, is available to download now.

Also happy memories of times at the Church of St Edmund in Lombard Street with London Centre for Spiritual Direction.

“Only it wasn’t it…” goes on to explain how his remains were transported round Norfolk. I’d visions of poor old Edmund being carted round East Anglia in a suitcase! 😀

St Edmund the King and martyr commemorated last week. Smiled when the celebrant @csmv-wantage.bsky.social told us briskly of his beheading: “So- that was it!” 1/

Stayed there last week. Lovely place.

When I was at school in the 70s, we were still sniggering at “The curse is come upon me, cried the Lady of Shalott.”

When we lived in France, I remember a very popular children’s picture book called ‘Crotte!’ 💩😁

The same might be said now.😕Did you get any recommendations?

Having a stroll through my poor neglected starter pack? A kind of directory I guess. Maybe think of it as a party bag with balloons, toys and a slice of cake. 😇

Down three points from 45 to 42. Time period July-September, so hopefully little damage was done during Greenbelt!
