Contemplating Grace

The Advent of New Birth

Once we claim the space where heaven and earth unite within us our eyes are opened...

When we do not see others, we cast them into the outer darkness of oblivion...

When we actually see others we may also find ways to help their situation...

Joy shines through the magnifying presence of the Christ-child...

Like a magnifying glass, our souls take whatever is before us and reveal its hidden essence.

The farther we stray from our holy center, the less peace we know and the less peaceful we become.

The farther we stray from our holy center, the less peace we know and the less peaceful we become.

This is our hope: that we would know, or perhaps that we would remember ourselves as the Beloved of God...

The birth of the Christ-child is a much deeper mystery than what is embodied in most of our Christmas preparations...

We cannot exist in the presence of God until we can exist in the presence of God naked, unafraid, and uninhibited.
