| A Christmastide Reflection Christmas Day is in the rearview mirror. We are solidly into the 12 days of Christmas. Day 3 actually. As you move through these 12 days, as the world prepares for New Years’ Eve, we invite you to consider the Light that comes as described by the words of Jan Richardson’s poem below. Blessings be upon you this Christmastide. How the Light Comes by Jan Richardson I cannot tell you how the light comes. What I know is that it is more ancient than imagining. That it travels across an astounding expanse to reach us. That it loves searching out what is hidden, what is lost, what is forgotten or in peril or in pain. That it has a fondness for the body, for finding its way toward flesh, for tracing the edges of form, for shining forth through the eye, the hand, the heart. I cannot tell you how the light comes, but that it does. That it will. That it works its way into the deepest dark that enfolds you, though it may seem long ages in coming or arrive in a shape you did not foresee. And so may we this day turn ourselves toward it. May we lift our faces to let it find us. May we bend our bodies to follow the arc it makes. May we open and open more and open still to the blessed light that comes. Would you like to ask the Camel for a reflection? Or, do you have a question about the Episcopal Church or faith? You can email them to clergy@epiphanyec.org. And the “Hump Day Camel” will respond. Your name will be kept anonymous. |
