The Labyrinth, an Easter Adventure

by Nancy Schoellkopf, posted in Easter, Imagination, Musings, Uncategorized

I originally shared this post two years ago after an enjoyable trip to the coast. I consider it to be a wonderful Good Friday meditation. Last week I was generously invited to join a group of friends who have been meeting every year for decades to whale watch at Point Arena Lighthouse. On our third … Continue reading The Labyrinth, an Easter Adventure

Easter Broom

Another poem for National Poetry Month The fabric of night unwinds like a bolt of dark blue velvet across a clean white sheet of daylight. At Equinox the corners of the blankets meet the Sun and the Earth stretch together and the moon is swept with rangy branches of Easter Broom. Yellow blossoms scatter across … Continue reading Easter Broom

Truth be told, I … Continue reading Easter Greetings/Pandemic Edition

I want to wish everyone a peaceful Holy Week, and a Blessed Easter.  I wrote this poem a few months ago.  I'd seen another praise poem, written like this, designed so the reader would read the first column from top to bottom, and then come back up and read the second column.  I thought it … Continue reading Praise Poem

God of the Starling, God of the Murmuration

by Nancy Schoellkopf, posted in Easter, Joy, Musings, Spirituality, Spring

I wrote this a year ago at Easter, long before any of us had heard of Corona Virus.  During this extraordinary time in our lives and history, I wanted to share this post again.  It is my wish that my story of searching for the Divine will give you hope and comfort.  Please be sure … Continue reading God of the Starling, God of the Murmuration
