I am not ready for advent,
I need to get ready,
to be ready to enter...
to participate
to drink from these deep wells...
so much to do
before I can be still...
I must get ready...
but,
how do you prepare
for a time of preparation?
so much stuff...
can I
look forward,
will I
see beyond the tinsel
and the fairy lights..?
I want to soak myself in
advent longings,
to still my heart,
to listen,
to breathe in the
incarnational possibilities
of this season...
I am not ready for advent...
I may never be ready,
...but I will take your hand
and enter in...
