Season of Lent
|
Emily Dickinson and the Poetry of Lent: We call these weeks “Lent” because of the “lengthening” days, the growing light that, in time, will coax the buds to swell, the ferns to unfurl, and the flowers to open up in bloom. And so if Lent is about lengthening light, it’s also about broadening our hearts and opening our eyes – and poetry can help. Emily Dickinson was an avid gardener and student of the botanical world, a perfect docent for this season of awakening. Words of scripture and the poetry of Emily Dickinson will provide opportunities for reflection in worship during the Lenten season. Download the Lenten devotional to supplement your own Lenten prayers at home.
