Sarah, I came across the poetry you wrote for the “7” virtual Art-Walk on Jody Thomae’s site and was hoping I could use some of the poetry in a Good Friday mediation I am putting together for our church in this interesting time of worhip. All of it was so moving and would like to include it Thank you
