Advent
Advent I have hope for a new communion, not of remembrance, but anticipation, given at a table unladen of history, to join unburdened as a hungry child. To taste on Earth the peace that lives within the hearts of those, alone and together, who share instead of covet and hoard. To celebrate the joy of bringing to the table what I can, and gratefully receiving what can only come from above, the gift of life that is born again each day as a child in need of love and nurture, but curious as well, seeking the wonder, the illumination, of eternal truth.
