Advent – a Gift of Becoming

“The old order changeth, yielding place to new”

-“The Coming of Arthur” and “The Passing of Arthur” in Idylls of the King

 

There is much to be said for Ordinary Time

Its very ordinariness is kind to us

The daily hours that end with the Vespers chime

Free of formation and pageantry

 

But Advent comes as part of the dance

Of seasons wheeling through the universe

And we must shift our thoughts back into time

In anticipation of the Nativity

 

In solitary splendor a wonderful Star

Gives us light for our pilgrimage renewed
