Good News can come through emptiness
Mary didn’t know Jesus was risen
She turned to a stranger
The person who was tending the dirt
And asked for help
Do you see the Easter moment
It’s hiding right there
It’s not in the race before
No trumpets or proclamations in John
It starts in a moment
of hoping for hope
of reaching out
in planting seeds
After all God was the first Gardener
Is it little wonder that
Jesus is once again on his knees
in the dirt
And Mary reaches out to him
Easter has started
There in the dark
Even before she knows it
The resurrection
starts in those moments
of planting and tending
and then slowly
unfurl
for days
months
as long as we need
to turn
our mourning
into dancing
Here’s hoping
you have those moments
Throughout the
Easter season
Good News can
Come even
through
moments
of emptiness
Creation came
through Holy
Darkness
I hope you
Experience
that this
Easter Season
