Oh,
what a surprise lay in store! Every day (studying for the role),
every day on the set was a lifetime of uncovering treasures of
indescribable passion, care, and giving beyond giving.
With all I’d previously known; with all the sermons I’d heard and all
the hymns I’d sung, I knew nothing. The intimacy, the
devotion, the heart-cry, the eye-to-eye attention, the purity, the
passion—so much more than any of us can wrap our minds around.
An explosion of unbridled involvement so opposite the stereotype
of an aloof and mystical Christ
with arms outstretched and eyes locked heavenward.
