As each Christmas approaches, when we celebrate again the coming of the Messiah, time, all too easily evaporates in a host of things-to-be-done. This short meditation opens by inviting you, the reader, to find just a few moments to think about the wonders of our mighty and humble God in preparation for our thoughtful participation in his festival.
The Crib and The Cosmos
Give yourself time
to ponder God's power
poured into space
to hang
the denizens of the universe
in their appointed place.
Kneel before Christ's crib;
ponder his powerlessness:
a naked, new-born arrival,
dependent on a maiden's milk
for his survival.
Ponder this contrast -
such utter paradox:
yet maybe we can, with its aid,
comprehend a part
of God's
unfathomable heart.
