Wonder

To have been Mary:

How will life be different

With an empty tomb?

What would it look like

If all believed her story?

How will we be changed?

Hope

Greening in the spring,

Trusting that the Bread will rise,

Building bridges. Hope.

(Photo: Taken on 4/8/17 when first communion class made bread for Passion Sunday. Yes, I realize this bread doesn't rise, but I love the photo, so just imagine that this dough is full of yeast. May we all be yeast for this broken world.)

Awake

Dying on the cross:
A way to tell us stay woke?
Your cross. Everywhere.

Spirit

You, the Inspirer
Breathing life into all things
To dance, to rise up, sing.

Deny

"I do not know him."

Denial obscures the truth.

Peter's not alone.

We do not know him:

Christ living in refugees.

We still deny him.

Above

I.

The full moon above

Reflects the light of the sun,

Shines in the night sky.

II.
You are above all.
You are the sun, I the moon,
Reflecting your love.

Follow

He said, "Follow me,"

And that way led to the cross,

But didn't stop there....
