Observations: Through the ‘Narrow Gate’

This series of six short pantoums was inspired by a prayer walk I was prompted to take during my recent retreat, as I reflected on the Scripture verses from Matthew 7:13-14. The photos were taken during my prayer walk to aid my reflections and following repetition prayer that led to the writing of these poems.

Written 10-16 September 2025 following a recent retreat

Can anything good come out of there?

This piece of writing has been inspired by John 1:43-51, as I reflect on Nathanael's initial reaction as he responds to Philips conviction that he has found 'the one'. It is the Gospel set in the Revised Common Lectionary for this Sunday (Epiphany 2, Yr B).
