Christmas…

Laboring for peace in the midst of unrest.

Making stronger the frayed and broken.

Great bird souring above us… giving LIFE.

Light upon our hearts, making us weak and soft.

Remind us of the child

Who came… humbly…

Yet turned hearts upside down and inside out.

Shining light on dark places.

You know, oh Spirit, my heart… our hearts.

And may my soul rise to meet you in the sky.

To fly, to land, to fly again, to rise on the wind.

Unpredictable and free.
