Advent 2019 Day 6

December 30, 2019

 

The travelers on this journey​​ 

are many; coming from all

living places and historic times,

a long line of pilgrims seeking​​ 

their own Bethlehem; to​​ 

comprehend this gift of love and to receive it

but they already share it with

each other as they journey

to a new horizon for

truly, it is not possible to want

this hope and seek this love

without already having it

within themselves.

 

And so they travel over millennia

like rivers flowing to the ocean

each bringing the soils of their lands

and the color of their skys melting

together into something new; ​​ never

before seen; never before imagined

this babe, this child of God, this child

of woman.
