“Only Just Begun” - Lenten Video

The Fourth video in the Lenten series, “Becoming: a Season of Rebirthing,” is “Only Just Begun.” The words and images of the poem in the video reflects Psalm 23. The song by Shellee Coley, too, with these words: "So I wandered throught the valley. I stood beneath an open sky, just looking for somebody to lead me through the lonely night.”

The creators point out that the video contains themes appropriate for Lent: a “willingess to be in communion, to wander towards blessing, to continue to learn.”

We hope these evocative visual resources will encourage deeper personal reflection for your Lenten spiritual practice. Previously posted videos can be found on the News (fyi) page of our website.

This video series is a creative collaboration of singer-songwriter Shellee Layne Coley, poet Kelly Ann Hall, and filmmaker Travis Reed (The Work of the People).
