The winner of this week’s Poetry Party drawing is. . .

. . . Lynn White!  Congratulations Lynn, you have won a space in the upcoming online Lenten retreat with St. Hildegard of Bingen.

A deep bow of gratitude to everyone who participated in the Poetry Party (submissions are still welcome!)  I savored each poem as it was shared and let it have space in my heart to shimmer.  Then I said a blessing for the poet’s longings for the year ahead.  I send my blessings to all of you, that art may sustain your imagination in the coming days and weeks.
