BLUE by Nancy Fischer

Go find a jukebox and see what a quarter will do / I don’t wanna talk I just wanna go back to blue / Feed’s me when I’m hungry and quenches my thirst / Loves me when I’m lonely and thinks of me first / Blue is the color of night / When the red sun / Disappears from the sky / Raven feathers shiny and black / A touch of blue glistening down her back / We don’t talk about heaven and we don’t talk about hell / We come to depend on one another so damn well / So go to confession whatever gets you through / You can count your blessings I’ll just count on blue / Blue is the color of night / When the red sun / Disappears from the sky / Raven feathers shiny and black / A touch of blue glistening down her back / Blue ~Lucinda William /

Gethsemane by oneillstudios

Judas Betrays Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, for some money. Arguably the most famous betrayal of all time. What flashed across my mind, was Judas’ brutal materialism, and the lack of satisfaction it gave him. He topped himself a few hours later. It’s particularly poignant in this part of Germany-completely unaffected by the war (the rest of Germany was pretty much destroyed)-and wealth flows like a river. Yet, I have never witnessed such miserable, dour, depressed, uncharismatic people. Completely unhelpful, selfish and possessive, and desperate for more. Still, most of us would chose to be miserable millionaire than a miserable pauper. Helps pay the bills. So mustn’t judge, but I’ve already done that. The image is a slightly enhanced wood carving found on the door of Constance Roman Catholic Cathedral, Germany. What is also interesting, to me, was the portrayal of Jesus. Often the Catholic Church has portrayed Jesus as a white Anglo-Saxon—slightly feminine especially the sacred heart stuff. So, often he is caricatured as a freaky peace loving hippy—a classic example is South Park. Here, however, he seems to be portrayed as a man. Not significantly different from the others in the image. Not much can be used as a caricature. Or perhaps I lack imagination. I can’t help thinking that Jesus has suffered bad press. I think it’s fair to say from both followers and enemies alike. Even a quick read of the Biblical (and extra-Biblical Gospels) gives us a pretty different portrayal of him from the way he seems in popular imagery. That last remark is controversial, I know-but it’s not meant to be offensive-thought provoking, I hope. I think a good thing, indeed an academic thing, is always to read the source material for yourself. I would encourage those who haven’t, to read the Gospel material for themselves.
