Celebrating that Christ Cannot Be Boxed and Sold at a Discount

"It's not over this birthing. 

There are always newer skies

into which 

God can throw stars. 

When we begin to think 

that we can predict the Advent of God,

that we can box the Christ 

in a stable in Bethlehem, 

that's just the time

that God will be born 

in a place we can't imagine and won't believe. 

Those who wait for God  

watch with their hearts and not their eyes, 

listening 

always listening 

for angel words."
