Dr. Wil Gaffney “I have come to appreciate Advent so much more without the light/dark binary. Rather, I see darkness as the generative space in which the light is conceived and form which it is born. Both holy, both life-giving.”
Out of the Deep
the dark
the womb
…….
Out of the Silence
the non-speaking
the I-don’t know what to say
I have so many things to saybut I know nothing will fix this

When I have no words….

When I cannot generate anything else…

I remember…
Jesus came from this
Light,
Word,
Hope
Created from the Holy Rest,
Sabbath

This is how God Conceives
a Savior for us
Holy
able to sit
in the dark
silence
nothingness
war….chaos….loneliness
And be unproductive
With us…..
holy, holy, holy
Amen
