A large dose of light would be good about now. Sometimes coming up with titles for a painting is the most difficult part for me and often, I will change it several times as I see new things in it. The title for this painting was given by Augsburg Fortress Press, who commissioned this painting along with 15 others for a prayer book specifically for incarcerated people, but I believe we all have our own prisons. I found the title Augsburg Fortress gave this one was both strong and poignant. Maybe it is because I am feeling particularly weary, personally and as I read the news. How does one find hope when feeling pummeled by forces beyond one's control? This painting together with the title breaks through the darkness that holds us...a poignant reminder that our stories are not the last word. That there is a Story that is beyond us and out in front of us, drawing us toward a Light that breaks through darkness. That is good news!
