Advent 1 ~

“The season of Advent

 means there is something on the horizon

 the likes of which we have never seen before.

What is possible is to not see it,

 to miss it, to turn just as it brushes past you.

 And you begin to grasp what it was you missed,

 like Moses in the cleft of the rock,

 watching God’s [back] fade in the distance.

 So stay. Sit. Linger. Tarry. Ponder. Wait. Behold. Wonder.

 There will be time enough for running.

 For rushing. For worrying.

 For pushing.

 For now, stay.

 Wait.

 Something is on the horizon.”
Jan L. Richardson
