brief blogging break

Christine | May 23, 2008

A brief blogging break for a few days to welcome in summer's arrival, email replies will be slow as well.  Enjoy the days ahead!

In the meantime, a few resources for you:

• This beautiful article on "Quilting from the Soul: Living at the Intersection of Art and Spirituality" (and not just because she quotes me) by one of my long-time readers June Mears Driedger.
• Beth Patterson at Virtual Tea House has a contest inviting submissions that reflect on the sacred space of home.  Click here for more information.
• Since we are on the theme of music this week, Rebecca at The Difference a Year Makes has a set of links to some very moving work by Annie Lennox in response to the crisis of AIDS in Africa.

** Come back on Monday for our next Poetry Party! **
