Fri Dec. 23 - An Invitation (Imogen Heap)

And the Word became flesh and lived among us... From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

                      - John 1:14a, 16

incarnation: an improv

 (hit play and read on)

THE TIME IS NIGH. 

Creation braces;

cities shiver

and hide their sharp gleam.

pundits, thieves and martyrs seek solace in oblivion,

laughing at docile folk hunkering against the wind -

the desperate and lonely 
covering their ears 
against echoing angel sounds.

you, too, huddle:

lost, jaded, 
confused; 

reaching, uncertain, 
in the dark...

terrified that you are numb or

terrified that you might feel something --

or terrified that everything matters and you

haven't really paid attention.

have you done enough
to be ready?

have you done anything
at all?

HARK, NOW:

stop asking

all 

the wrong questions.

all you need

is

to open your eyes -

open your eyes -

OPEN YOUR EYES.

widen 
your whole self.

expand --

               allow --

                              release --

just

invite 

the miracle 

to be lit again

in you.
