Are we loved? No questions nags at us more. No question matters as much. The love revealed in the Trinity speaks to the loneliness and longing so common in our time—and in our lives. But our brokenness can become the doorway to a deeper certainty that we are cherished by God, fully beloved. While God as Trinity remains a mystery, it need not confuse or complicate our faith. Instead, its beauty can warm our hearts and renew our hope.

Eiji Tsuburaya emerged from the horrors of WWII believing that kaiju stories could help restore hope to traumatized children. His pioneering work laid the architecture for a six-decade tokusatsu movement in which monsters offer cultural mirrors and spiritual architecture. This session will cross space and time to explore the complexity and beauty of monsters as storytellers. Perhaps their tales can give us courage and hope to face some creatures raging in our own tumultuous era.

Van Gogh’s Irises, which he painted while committed to an asylum, started out violet but turned blue over time. The red he used (the color associated with madness) is gone, and all we see is the purity of the primary color associated with peace. Where his life as an artist began (optimism) looked so different from where it ended (despair). But where people’s view of him as an artist was when he died (madness) looks so different from how his life is regarded today (brilliance).
