The Risen Christ

BORGOGNONE, Ambrogio de Stefano

1510

Serenity. Acceptance. Calm. A delicate naturalism. And a certain

sadness. These were the qualities that Borgognone presented in his

painting of the Risen Christ.

The God/Man he shows is no longer troubled by the cares of his

turbulent life. He has passed beyond this, into his glory.

Not only is another world possible,

she is on her way.

On a quiet day,

I can hear her breathing.

~ Arundhati Rov

For me the meaning of the Resurrection

is the possibility of possibility.

The great perhaps.

Perhaps:  the open-endedness that gives the lie to death.

That opens up the story.

This must be Volunteer Appreciation Month because I certainly have been appreciated in the last few weeks!!!

The Alzheimer’s Association had a Tuesday morning breakfast in the Carriage House

of the Governor’s Mansion where I received my 15-year pin.

(How time flies!!!)

Tuesday evening was Bunco (and yummies) at Dorinne Reid’s home.

Thursday was a Recognition Luncheon at the Lakewood Cultural Center

sponsored by the Volunteer Connection.

Pam McQuin, Lori Joslin, and Mel Nuchols,

all employees of the Senior Resource Center Evergreen

Mel and Carolyn at the luncheon

Eileen Sharkey and I saw a rescued barn owl at the Earth Day celebration at the lake on Saturday.

Happy Easter!!!

AND THE GLORY

The silence breaks into morning.

That One Star lights the world.

The lily springs to life and 

not even Solomon …

Let it begin with singing

and never end!

Oh, angels, quit your lamenting!

Oh, pilgrims,

upon your knees in tearful prayer,

rise up

and take your hearts

and run!

We who were no people

are named anew

God’s people,

for he who was no more

is forevermore.
