The Way of Jesus always includes the path of descent. The way of the cross. The way of dying to self and trying to trust that life can grow, even in darkness. There is a continuous cycle of life and death, and life again, to be found within all of creation. The tenacious way a tiny seed can sprout, underground. Shadows, indicating the presence of light. An almost ridiculous hope against all hope that love can, and will, have the last word.
