A poem for Advent Week One: Hope...
Hope seems as light as a feather,
but sparks all good, deep things that are yet to come.
Hope is a glimmer of light, in the darkest night.
Even in the midst of chaos, hope is the new growth of a fig leaf or bud of the cactus plant;
growing slowly to remind us that Jesus is nearby.
As the Solstice draws near, days grow darker and colder and a single candle of hope shines.
A single candle to wake us up to the promise given.
A single candle to stoke the cooling embers of the heart.
A single candle to give, " confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
A single candle to do the heavy-lifting and give us...HOPE.
Prayer:
Help me to be
Open to
Possibilities
Emerging.
HOPE.
