With these poems and meditations Bonnie B. Thurston continues her unsentimental journey through darkness towards light. Following the steep ascent of Holy Week from the uneasy hope and celebration of Palm Sunday, through the long stillness of Holy Saturday, and into the fragile dawn of Easter, they speak honestly of loss and exhaustion, yet remain fiercely attentive to grace breaking through the ordinary days. Written with theological depth and poetic restraint, they remain close to lived experience: grief and fatigue, waiting and watching, the costly, unremarkable work of love.Rooted in scripture and shaped by a life intentionally lived quietly, Thurston’s voice is both disciplined and compassionate. She does not seek to resolve the mystery of resurrection, but to stay with it, to listen, to endure, and to trust that love, extravagant and undeserved, is already at work. Having stepped away from an academic career for a quiet life in West Virginia, Thurston writes from the margins: attentive to silence, service, grief and the slow work of faith.This is a book for those who know that Easter is not hurried, that resurrection carries the shadow of the cross, for readers who walk Holy Week with open eyes and steady hearts, trusting that even in darkness, love is already at work. It invites us to pause, ponder, and find solace in the transformative mystery of Christ’s passion, death and resurrection.
