There Is Love
There is love here
Love that you can find
Open hearted and totally free
One of a kind
There for you and me
He’s always waiting
Humble
Compassionate
How is this possible
Why does he do this
How can this be
Because there is always a need
Someone hurt
Someone dying
Someone grieving
Put your doubts aside
Lay your burdens at his feet
He will meet your arguments
With a sweet logic
Its all quite simple
When you believe

This image probably does not need me to say much at all about it - I think it is one of those images that will affect you emotionally if you are a spiritual person, but just maybe, might affect those who are not but wonder why.
Really the credit should go to the sculptor, as whoever created this wonderful depiction of Christ has caught something otherworldly, and it felt that way when I stood before it in Ocklynge Cemetery in my home town of Eastbourne on the Sussex coast of the UK.
There is this inward meditative quality about Christ’s expression that speaks to you on a deep level where his innate compassion is written upon his face for us to see.
And here we are in remembrance of the Saturday after his crucifixion..after every death there is this disbelief, a void. Will we ever feel joy again, and how do we escape this pain. Questions arise with no answers.
But the gift of being human is to be able to love. And to love and lose that love brings a unique pain. And this is what Christ learnt in His time here on this earth. But once experienced you know that it is a treasure you know you would never have wanted to not have experienced. This love enables us to carry those memories with us, and continue to love the person we have lost to the next world, even though they are no longer with us physically. There is also joy in knowing we will see them again, and this was Christ’s message for us, as He came to reassure His friends and disciples after His death. This space of time before that happened on Easter Sunday is important in letting grief shed your doubts. It is as if we have to be flayed of everything we once judged as sensible, reasonable and logical. Only then does the light of understanding descend.
I have paired this work with George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord”, where we can hear the longing in his voice to be reunited with his God. Please find the link below.
Until tomorrow, I will leave you with this wonderful song, and this beautiful depiction of Christ in Ocklynge Cemetery I was lucky enough to find.
