Season of Dust (Mary and Child 2020)

Season of Dust (Mary and Child 2020)

Another in my series of Mary and Child.

What kind of being, mortal or otherwise, would look at a broken, broken world and decide, against all odds, to bring new life into it.

There is no right or wrong answer, but I believe the answer determines your life.

"Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger, together with all malice. And [for the love of God, would it kill you, just once, to try to] be kind to one another."

Ephesians 4:31-32 [with some paraphrasing by yours truly]


2020 was a rough year. Locked down, terrified of the very air people were exhaling. And yet, despite every warning, children continued to be born.

I wish I could take that as a sign that "life goes on", but my world view that year was a little bleaker than that. Instead, I just wanted to portray that sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where none of us have an answer. All we can do is hold on to each and try to ride out the storm.
