On this Holy Saturday--the in between day, the day where we wait in silence and unknowing--another poem for your consideration and meditation, this one from artist Jan Richardson's wonderful blog called The Painted Prayerbook:
Therefore I Will Hope
A Blessing for Holy Saturday
I have no cause
to linger beside
this place of death
no reason
to keep vigil
where life has left
and yet I cannot go,
cannot bring myself
to cleave myself
from here
can only pray
that this waiting
might yet be a blessing
and this grieving
yet a blessing
and this stone
yet a blessing
and this silence
yet a blessing
still.
