Past Watchful Dragons Meets Rabbit Room

I know I promised you the next installment in the On Writing series, so I hope you’ll forgive this brief interruption. Today I wanted to point your attention to the Rabbit Room blog once again, but this time it’s because they were kind enough to publish one of my articles. Yippie!  

It took them a couple months to find a spot for my post, so the descriptions of a wintry wonderland may feel a bit unseasonable. (In Michigan, though, it was still relevant at the beginning of May. Yikes.) However, the article isn’t about snow; it’s about hope in brokenness and sorrow. That’s pretty relevant all 365 ¼ days of the year. 

Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” is the foundation of the article, but the gravity of that poem is balanced with hope from Douglas McKelvey’s “A Liturgy for Those Who Weep Without Knowing Why.” Sounds like a strange concoction, I know, but both pieces spoke to me, and I think they’ll speak to you as well. 

Enough prelude. If you would do me the honor, head on over to the Rabbit Room blog and check out my article called “Wounded by Beauty: Robert Frost, Douglas McKelvey, and Hope in the Sorrow.” The title is a bit unwieldy, I grant you, but I hope the post is an encouragement.
