Underground

Between endings and new beginnings is always a "time between." It is always a mysterious time, often a dark and difficult time, never a time subject to clocks and calendars. Between the old relationship and the new one, between the old job and the new one, between the old reason for getting up in the morning in the new one is this chasm of uncertainty, confusion and waiting. Between Good Friday and Easter is Holy Saturday, when Jesus lay in the darkness of the tomb. His journey is humanity's journey, and he experienced the ultimate "time between."

This cross is from Glenwood Caverns above (you have to take a cable car up the mountain) Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Combine limestone and calcite and iron oxides with lots of time and total darkness and a little water and you get stalactites, the striped "bacon" formation, and unique beauty that only happens underground.
