Remain

April 8, 2022 By Verna Bowman 6 Comments

As the calendar rips through the holy season of Easter, I camp in the landscape of it all that’s told in the gospels.  In the Bible. We see male followers who gather at the table for a Last Supper, get sleepy in a Garden, and female followers who gather at the foot of the cross – until the end.  That’s where we see a mix of … [Read more...]

Pastel Darkness

April 8, 2017 By Verna Bowman 7 Comments

It’s Friday and we want Sunday. . . A two-sided braided path leads to Easter. There's the prettier one - the easier one we take while rushing to the resurrection where we miss reflecting on the one stained with blood tracks and flesh-ripping thorns. The passing of my mom during holy week has always added to the sorrow. And … [Read more...]
