A quiet pervades the earth after the violence of yesterday. A silence full of hope. Not a hope for a particular outcome. No, it is a mystical hope born out of knowing that an abiding presence survives despite the death threats, and execution Inflicted on the body. The temptation to respond like-for-like is gone. Only a deep knowing beyond words can express the peace found in this silence and in this hope. It is not about saving this life. It is about becoming life itself without beginning or end. And it is about peace, Not as the absence of violence but as an all pervading peace of being at one with creation Without beginning or end forever ever and ever. All that is left behind is an empty tomb. Amen
