   Thanks, Matt. Your post has inspired me! Since it is now the “Christian calendar” season of Lent for those who wish to make it part of their spiritual practice, various Lent-laden literature is flooding my Inbox, vying for my meditational attention… a kind of oxymoronic situation… trying to quieten myself within, to listen for the still small voice which would hopefully, gently convict, challenge and transform me in the deep places of my heart… whilst the cacophanous choir from the email list silently shouts “Pick ME! I’m the lesson with more. You need to engage with MY wisdom today i.e. preferably right now!”

   Had to make a choice
   Today your post won one through
   I’ve written Haiku!

   … as did another
   post that came through my inbox
   Isaiah 30:15

   (Isaiah 30:15 For thus the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said, ‘In repentance and rest you will be saved, in quietness and trust is your strength.’)

   HAIKU for Lent

   I can choose to live
   When choice is too difficult
   Christ-death-life GIVEs strength

   I can choose to turn
   My life around and find rest
   Repentance BREEDs strength

   I can choose to love
   The Way showed me how it’s done
   Choosing Love Is strength
