It’s a beautiful afternoon for barking at people. And anything with wheels.

The Easter flowers, so beautiful this year. #easter

Morning Meditation, Easter:

Death does not have the last word.

Brothers and sisters, if we don’t believe that every crucifixion—war, poverty, torture, hunger—can somehow be redeemed, who of us would not be angry, cynical, hopeless? No wonder Western culture seems so skeptical today. It all doesn’t mean anything, it’s not going anywhere, because we weren’t given a wider and cosmic vision of Jesus’ resurrection. Easter is not just the final chapter of Jesus’ life, but the final chapter of history. Death does not have the last word. - Richard Rohr

The epicenter of Christianity is Love. - Cynthia Bourgeault

Morning Meditation, Holy Saturday: “Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven devils had been cast out” Luke 8:2. ...The third was that no one knew me, although they thought they did. And that if people thought of me as little as I thought of them then what was love? The fourth was I didn’t belong to anyone. I wouldn’t allow myself to belong to anyone. The fifth was that I knew none of us could ever know what we didn’t know… -from Magdalene—The Seven Devils, Marie Howe

When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb. -Matthew 27:57-61

Whatever happened to Jesus between Saturday and Sunday, it happened in the dark, with the smell of damp stone and dug earth in the air. It happened where no one but him could talk about it later, and he did not talk about it — at least not so anyone could explain it to anyone else. -Barbara Brown Taylor, Learning to Wait in the Dark

Morning Meditation, Good Friday:

The cross is a perfect metaphor for what we mean by “Everything Belongs.” The rational, calculating mind can never fully understand the mystery of the cross. These insights can only be discovered through contemplative seeing: God is to be found in all things, even and most especially in the painful, tragic, and sinful things, exactly where we do not want to look for God. The crucifixion of the God-Man is at the same moment the worst thing in human history and the best thing in human history. - Richard Rohr

Today, on the quietest day of the year, we have come to sit in the presence of one who was fully who God created him to be every day of his life—who loved God with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, and with all his mind—and who loved his friends so much that he stepped into the oncoming traffic of death in order to push them out of the way. He furthermore did it all with no more than the basic human equipment—a beating heart, two good hands, a holy vision, and some companions who could see it too—thereby showing the rest of us humans that such a life is not beyond our reach. Whatever else happens on Sunday, here is enough reason to call this Friday Good. -Barbara Brown Taylor, Home By Another Way

Morning Meditation, Maundy Thursday:
Pray with the eyes of your heart.

Art: The Last Supper by Stefan Georgiev

I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. John 13:34

I completed a commissioned Prayer Painting today, which means the muses are speaking and paint is flowing in the studio after a brief rest. The way creative energy cycles is fascinating to me. Not much at all I can do about it. I just have to trust it.

Morning Meditation: “I need a God who is bigger and more nimble and mysterious than what I could understand and contrive. Otherwise it can feel like I am worshipping nothing more than my own ability to understand the divine.” -Nadia Bolz-Weber

Morning Meditation: “Spirituality without a prayer life is no spirituality at all, and it will not last beyond the first defeats. Prayer is an opening of the self so that the Word of God can break in and make us new. Prayer unmasks. Prayer converts. Prayer impels. Prayer sustains us on the way. Pray for the grace it will take to continue what you would like to quit.” ― Joan Chittister, In a High Spiritual Season

Does the Saturday before Palm Sunday have a name? I went on an art walk on the sacred earth with sweet Bitsy and friends who have loved me through decades, whom I have loved through decades. Grateful for them, and the beauty they create in the world and the guidance they share.
