Merry Christmas
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
Merry Christmas, and may peace and joy be yours today.
I may be crazy … or maybe bags of ice are beautiful
Something strange is happening. I don’t know what it is, or what it means yet, but I think it’s good.
I stood on the city footpath looking at the building across the street. It’s an older building – two or three stories – with a terracotta roof. I saw the light and shadow, and the pattern of the tiles in the sunlight. Beautiful. Completely ordinary. But somehow beautiful.
A sparrow landed on top of a nearby sign, perched for a moment, and flew away. Beautiful. Completely ordinary. But somehow beautiful.
I sat on the bus passing bags of ice stacked neatly in a service station freezer. Beautiful. Completely ordinary. But somehow beautiful.
Maybe I’m going a little nuts. Or maybe, just maybe, I’m really starting to see.
