Story & the Child's Imagination

This session invites you to examine the powerful tale of Rizpah (2 Samuel 21:1-14), which symbolizes grief intertwined with strength and resilience. Embracing redemptive beauty through the lens of lament necessitates a courageous acknowledgment of pain—an indispensable step toward healing and transformation. Join us as we discuss that while rooted in sorrow, lament opens pathways to hope and renewal, showing that from despair’s depths, true beauty and new beginnings can emerge.

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).
