What's resurrecting for you in this Easter season? For me, it's Moon Joy!

"and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away." - Matthew 27:60

Desert Word: Silence is not absence.
Practice: Light a candle and do nothing else.
Refrain: Breath remains.

"Then Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, 'Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.' Having said this, he breathed his last." - Luke 23:46

As Jesus breathes his last—“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit”—there is no escape from the body, no divine withdrawal from the suffering of flesh. God does not abandon the human experience at its most fragile, most wounded, most undone. Instead, God remains fully present within it, inhabiting even the moment of death with trust and surrender. The cross does not show a God who avoids pain, but one who stays inside it—who does not flee the wound but holds it from within. This is not distance; it is radical nearness.

Word: God did not flee the flesh.
Practice: Sit with silence for 10 minutes.
Refrain: God stayed in the wound.

"Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end." - John 13:1

On the night before everything unravels, Jesus kneels and washes his friends’ feet—taking the posture of a servant, choosing closeness over status. Love does not climb above the mess of being human; it moves toward it, lowers itself into it, touches what is ordinary and overlooked. This is not a performance of humility but a redefinition of power: not distance, not dominance, but presence that refuses to rank itself above others. To love like this is to stay grounded, to remain with, to resist the urge to make ourselves greater than the work of care itself.

Word: Love kneels.
Practice: Wash your hands slowly, imagining the feet of the world.
Refrain: I do not rise above love.

"Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, 'What will you give me if I betray him to you?' They paid him thirty pieces of silver." -Matthew 26:14-15

In Matthew 26:14–15, the betrayal begins quietly, in a private exchange, in a moment that could have remained hidden if not named. The gospel does not sanitize it or rush past it; it lets the truth be seen. There is something sacred in that honesty—the refusal to pretend that harm isn’t happening, the willingness to let what is real come into the light. Naming is not the same as fixing, and truth does not need to be hurried into resolution to be valid. Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is simply acknowledge what is unfolding, without minimizing it or trying to resolve it before its time.

Desert Word: Nothing true needs to stay hidden.
Practice: Name what is real—privately or with someone safe.
Refrain: I can acknowledge without rushing to fix.

"Then Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves." -Matthew 21:12

Jesus enters the temple and disrupts a system that had turned belonging into transaction—where access to the sacred was mediated by exchange, by proving worth, by getting it right. His anger is not chaos; it is clarity. He clears the space because it had forgotten its purpose: not performance, but presence. The moment names something many of us have learned too well—that we must earn our place, that we must present the right version of ourselves to be received. But the sacred does not require a performance to let you in. It asks for room to breathe, for honesty, for presence that is not bought or staged.

Desert Word: Performance is not equal to belonging.
Practice: Choose one small act of clearing. Let it be an act of returning, not control.
Refrain: I clear space for what is sacred.

"It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord." - Lamentations 3:26

The waiting is not framed as empty or passive, but as a form of endurance that holds meaning even when nothing seems to be changing. This is the kind of waiting that happens inside uncertainty, inside grief, inside the long stretch where resolution has not yet arrived. It is not about pretending everything is fine, but about staying present without rushing the process or abandoning yourself in the in-between. Waiting becomes a way of honoring what is still unfolding, a refusal to declare something over before it has had time to become.

Desert Word: Waiting is not wasted.
Practice: Sit in quiet darkness for five minutes.
Refrain: I remain.

"All of them deserted him and fled." - Mark 14:50

As Jesus is arrested, “they all deserted him and fled.” The moment is stark and unprotected—no loyal circle, no heroic resistance, just absence where there had been presence. Even Jesus knows what it is to be left, to stand in a moment that could easily become spectacle, reduced to something observed rather than accompanied. But this story refuses to turn abandonment into shame. It does not frame his aloneness as failure or something to perform for others. Instead, it names the truth plainly: sometimes people leave, even when love has been real. And still, the one abandoned is not made into an object, not stripped of dignity.

Desert Word: Even Jesus was abandoned.
Practice: Let yourself be incomplete.
Refrain: I am not a spectacle.

"And the first mud person and their partner were both naked and were not ashamed." - Genesis 2:25

We glimpse a world before hiding: the first mud person and their partner are naked and unashamed, fully present to themselves, to one another, and to God. This is Eden before shame existed—before the instinct to cover, to edit, to disappear. Their openness is not exposure without safety; it is being seen without fear. Nothing about their bodies or their being requires concealment in order to belong. To remember this moment is to remember that shame is not original to us—it is something learned, not something we were made for.

Desert Word: This was Eden before shame existed.
Practice: Remove one small layer of armor.
Refrain: I am allowed to be seen.

“They have treated the wound of my people carelessly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.”
- Jeremiah 6:14

“Peace, peace,” when there is no peace—a false calm that covers wounds without tending them. It is the language of avoidance, of smoothing over harm instead of facing it, of calling something healed while it is still bleeding. But real peace does not come from silence or denial; it grows from truth-telling, from the courage to name what hurts so it can be held and mended. Refusing false peace is not disruption for its own sake—it is devotion to what is real.

Desert Word: "Peace" that hides bleeding isn't peace.
Practice: Name a truth without softening it.
Refrain: I speak what is real.
