Every one of us carries a gift that has gotten us into trouble.
Maybe you learned early to make yourself smaller – quieter, more manageable, less of whatever it was that made people uncomfortable. Maybe you got very good at living next to yourself: functional, capable, present enough – while somewhere just out of reach, the real thing waits.
Joseph knows this place. Thrown into a cistern by the people who should have known him best, sold, falsely accused, forgotten – and yet. The thing they tried to eliminate kept surfacing. In every prison, in every foreign house, in every moment of confusion: the same gift. The same frequency. The same stubborn presence of a God who does not waste what has been thrown away.
This Easter season, we journey with Joseph from the 2nd Sunday of Easter to Pentecost. Seven weeks. Seven senses. One man’s story that turns out to be ours.
Each week we stay with a moment from Joseph’s life and one of our senses – hearing, sight, lips, heart, shoulders, hands, feet. Not as spiritual exercise. As a way back to yourself.
Because the senses are where confusion lives. And they are also where recognition begins.
This is not a promise that you won’t end up in the pit again. It’s something more honest than that: a practice of learning to know your own voice from its echoes.
From confusion to recognition. Seven weeks. Seven senses. One dreamer.
And you.
