I invite you to travel in your imagination to the upper room where Judas has just slipped away to a devious meeting with the high priests.
These are Jesus' final moments with his closest friends, change is afoot, and everything is turbulent, insecure.
We are in Eastertide now, which is so very hopeful, and yet a time of change, disregulation, transition.
I've been thinking about transitions this week, and wanted to share a meditation with you on Peter's question: where are you going?
After years of inviting his friends to come and follow me, Jesus suddenly says "you CAN'T follow me now." Disorientation.
Perhaps you are wondering where you're going, or where Jesus is going, or where Jesus is at all. If so, you are in good company with the disciples post-resurrection.
Bring your questions, open your spirit and sit with this encounter. Notice what Jesus offers and what he doesn't offer.
May you be nourished as you do so.
Peace and Grace
PS: Speaking of transitions, I'm transitioning back to my old/new recording space and I didn't quite get the acoustics right today. Apologies for that. Hoping it will sound better next week.
