God would be born in thee

i penned a few fragmented thoughts on creating space to see the sacred in our midst over at my friend heatherly's.   het is focusing her heart and ours on joy this advent and this year, and she's curated a lovely series of reflections.  she writes A Pinkdaisy Life and is one of the most encouraging voices I've met in this online space--one i hope to hug in person sometime.  i hope you'll stop by and say hello.

Lo, in the silent night
A child to God is born
And all is brought again
That ere was lost or lorn.

Could but thy soul, O man,
Become a silent night!
God would be born in thee
And set all things aright.
