Advent I, 2018

Advent I, 2018

While the circumstances and specificity 

of sightings will vary,

let the Knowing unfold its wings

and dance for our senses while still damp, 

trembling with the wonder of grace and joy.

And the Everlasting shall thrum

beneath and within and around and through

in proclamatory hope:

Here and now 

with the world as it is,

creased with fault lines, 

front lines, and desperate uncertainty,

Love is Alive. 

Can we take this in?

I feel as though I must, 

in order to breathe, to be set free.

Take this into my heart, my eyes, and speech,

touch, taste, listening, and any acts of creativity...

Into my deepest longing

that sings in the night:

Love

is 

alive!
