Part of the work of Good Friday is learning to live and feel darkness, knowing that light will come. I love the Christian tradition because of the life truths it asks us to live again and again so that we can understand the cycles of life: death; resurrection; creative birth; and radical forgiveness, healing, and change. It refuses to look away from confusion, pain, trauma, loss, and resistance. It asks me to sit in the darkness of unimaginable loss and hopelessness and to rise up and bring others with me. It shows me that healing is never solitary and that I am fundamentally tied to my communities in a way that mandates I be loved and love others to the best of my ability and in the most justice-seeking ways possible. Anything remembered cannot be lost. None of us are alone. For all of us in Good Friday cycles of life: keep sight of the light and listen for the still small voice of truth… Resurrection comes. #goodfriday
