Advent
We're almost there. Everything, everything points to new life. It's here, it's ours for the asking. All that we crave from that babe, the Word, that man who left us with some pretty pointed instructions on how to live, is right here. Maybe the advent of a new season is the ability to pry open one's clenched hands and receive all that is gifted to us. Love, light, new life, forgiveness, redemption.
