Mirroring Good Friday

Good Friday Diary Reflection

The holiness and silence of Good Friday overwhelmed me this morning while I was doing my daily reflection. I felt the energy of the day flowing deep within me… and I “congratulated” Eva, even though she had actually already had her birthday. 21 years ago it was Good Friday on her day and I still celebrate it, as I do with Noah, who is a Pentecostal child.

“What does it actually mean?” she asked me.

And every time, when I connect with these days, I go beyond the Christian story. Then I arrive at the deeper symbolism: the darkness of death, the crucifixion, the condemnation… and yet also the continued trust in the good, the “knowing” that everything is part of the journey. Life – death – life. The darkness before the dawn.

The image that kept coming to mind was a cave. And although I am now in France, I was drawn back to my time in Turkey – where I visited many caves, meditated and experienced a deep holiness.

So much has come together in me in Turkey. Rumi walked hand in hand with Mary Magdalene, Aphrodite with Jesus, the giants with the people, the nature beings with the contemporary… Everything is still causing and coming together in me.

And here on this morning in France, where I am bathed in sun and nature, I feel the silence of Good Friday. I feel my surrender to the light and my trust in the path that unfolds before me.

I wish everyone that trust.
Trust that the good will come to you.
Trust that the good will come to us.

We are all the source.

A beautiful day, and happy Easter days to come, whatever they may mean for you.
