My wife took the beautiful photo that inspired this painting.
There was something about this dandelion that captivated me.
He’s reaching the end of the line. He is weary but remains proud and steadfast. Some called him a weed, disrupting the status quo and infecting the neighborhood. But he knows the truth. He has run his race, and is now ready to give it all away, to multiply himself by scattering the seeds to bring forth new life. And in the midst of his sacrifice, with the sun setting on his last day, light shines through as a symbol of the grace within.
I call this piece “Good Friday” because it reminds me of that seemingly dark Friday, centuries ago, when all hope seemed lost and that evil had won.
As I think back to that original Good Friday, I consider how preposterous it would have seemed for anyone who lived through its heartbreak to hear it labeled as “good.” Such a declaration would seem ridiculous, possibly even blasphemous. It sure didn’t seem good at the time. But for those who believed, it actually turned out better than good.
If I’m honest, I know that nothing about the current geopolitical climate we find ourselves in seems good. And yet, I am confident that this moment, this day, this year – will prove to be Good, in the end. Both for you and for me. I grant that may seem ridiculous, perhaps even blasphemous.
A big part of what will make it so is how we choose to respond in this moment.
We can have our say by seeking to heal divisions that so deeply divide us. Not by trying to win others to our way of thinking, but through what always works: kindness, humility, and love.
And by trusting that the same God who called light forth from the darkness is still in control and is working all things...for good.
