Advent 2019 Day 2

December 30, 2019

this darkness is not to be denied

pushed away by some force

of nature or some ecclesiastical​​ 

pronouncement; not to be​​ 

overcome by a mysterious

force of a far-away God,

no, it is here as a teacher

a way to prepare for the journey

ahead. ​​ It is to be brought

closer ​​​​ even welcomed

and with it to become

engaged in the process of​​ 

journey. ​​ Hope will not​​ 

come​​ by hoping,​​ 

but​​ by seeking.
