jesus atop the mountain

"La fe mueve montañas"
Faith will move mountains.

"No hay mal que por bien no venga"
Every cloud has a silver lining.
(literally, there's no bad for which
no good will come)
Staring up into the arms and eyes of Jesus in Barcelona, Spain, I notice the powerful suggestions this statue is making.  Faith, no matter in what or in who, is a remedy we all must employ at some point or another in our lives.  Beyond the bronze, my eyes focus in on the fluffy clouds floating peacefully in the backdrop of the blue sky.  These clouds may bring rain to this otherwise sunny day, but they are beautiful nevertheless.  I wonder what other onlookers imagine as they gaze at this statue of Jesus atop the mountain...
