a Word most precious

alights like snow

floating down upon the earth

gently quiet

and packaged light

covering lands of grass and stones

with freshness

moistening the hardened ground 

for Spring

tis "Come!"

*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

  -The message of the Gospel can come alive only in a mind that is timeless and therefore contemporary.

  -Christianity, once it becomes linked to abstract thought, merely skims over the surface; genuine universalism is concrete and has to have roots.

  -There's a long road ahead for those who try to follow the Gospel.
