And so this is Christmas
December 25th, 2009
A moment in time,
and yet eternity held,
compressed, expansive,
instant and stretching,
and a single gong, echoing through flesh,
through spirit and flesh,
down long long ages, and brief forevers.
Today, like a wanderer,
old and bent from travel,
I pause at the fire,
feel the warmth;
old muscles happily remembered.
Feeling the fire,
and the echo passing through,
all sadness and joy,
of times past and a future remembered.
This is now.
Christmas greetings, my friends.
