Walking to Emmaus

Note the bowed heads and the short steps; these listeners who do not realize how focused they are. Note also the gentle power of the deep greens, possibly emphasizing the life-giving nature of Jesus’ words. I had always pictured the walk to Emmaus as dry and dusty, but now von Uhde has given me a fresh sense of mystery surrounding this short but magical event. See Luke 24:13-35.
