Duende-n.
the mysterious power of art
to deeply move a personI came across this word this week.
I had never seen it before.
It pretty much sums up the way
this word describes
what I see and feel about Christian art.
of the art in the sanctuary of
St. John's Lutheran Church
in Alexandria, Virginia.
Duende is a Spanish word
traditionally used in flamenco music
or other art forms to refer to the mystical
or powerful force given off
by a performer to draw in the audience.
Seems like there is a whole lot
to help us understand how Bible art-
or journaling
begins to have such a
moving force to our involvement.
It draws us in.
Alleluia.
