Abba in the Garden
The Night, the Word, and the Surrender The argument has been made. The portrait was assembled, the Zoroastrian elements documented, the substitution exposed, the identity demonstrated. The Wise Lord is the Father. The Father is the Wise Lord. The flame Jesus pointed at was the same flame Zarathustra named in 1737 BC. What remains is the scene that contains everything the argument has been pointing to. The night. The garden. The word a child uses for a parent.

The Night, the Word, and the Surrender The argument has been made. The portrait was assembled, the Zoroastrian elements documented, the substitution exposed, the identity demonstrated. The Wise Lord is the Father. The Father is the Wise Lord. The flame Jesus pointed at was the same flame Zarathustra named in 1737 BC. What remains is the scene that contains everything the argument has been pointing to. The night. The garden. The word a child uses for a parent. The surrender that is the deepest expression of Asha — alignment with truth at the cost of one's own life. This piece does not argue. It sits with what is there. The Garden It is late spring in Jerusalem. Passover. The moon is full or nearly full — Passover always falls at full moon, by the lunar calendar. The night is cool.
