Bethesda - by Carmen Platt
By Bethesda
Bethesda refers to a reservoir, an empty container, a “house of mercy”. Likewise I want my words to be like empty containers, seeking healing for our raw and authentic human experience through stories, truth and honesty. May these words be empty, to be filled.
