"good" friday
© rion.nui find it a little bit strange that we should call this day good. a day that commemorates one of the most violent days in recorded history, where not only was a man put to death...but he was spurned by God himself. and yet, in the bitterest of melancholies, we are told to wait. as curtains tear, and earthquakes shake, even the hardened man utters, "surely this man was the Son of God." as even those who were most intimate with him stand and watch from a distance while another bosom buddy denies him three times, we are told to wait.
a cosmic breath inhales, and in that moment of limbo, there is utter quiet. the absence of quiet, even. and we hear the hushed voice say, "wait."
wait.
wait.
why? because good things come to those who wait. and truth be told, the best is yet to come...

I'll never know how much it cost
to see my sins upon that cross.
i remember you
i remember that your body was broken
i remember that your blood was spilled
and i remember that you didn't have to do it...
too bad waiting is so hard!
where did you take the picture?
