Dear Anita, your prayerful meditation has brought to me a new “angelic song”,
a luminous psalmic song of ascents; borne along on the God-gifted wave of
flowing inspiration, and rejoicing to sense a “kneeling before the radiant Boy”
(from the Huron carol). I dearly appreciate the generous ‘breathing spaces’ set
between your thoughts, hushed moments, hushed to absorb a something more
from those “crystal glints of the Message that Birth brings.” Trusting in Him.
with gratitude, to the praise of the glory of His grace.
Blessings Anita
Christine Lane

In reply to David Brown.

“This ‘unwed mother’ was, of course, distinct from all others!”
Indeed. I was struck though that Christ entered some of humanity’s shameful experiences–premarital pregnancy, poverty and homelessness. Any shame we experience, as we all have or will, can be redeemed and transformed as He enters in.

It emerged well; all history turns on that incoming. But all turns on the cross where the work of redemption was done.

This ‘unwed mother’ was, of course, distinct from all others!

In reply to Gisela Goetz. Thank you, Gisela. I wrote it rapidly, and barely edited it, and this was the form in which it emerged! Happy New Year, to you and to your family!

Yes, “You are already the center of all things and hold all things together.” Your poem is beautiful Anita!
