IT’S ALL ABOUT ANGELS

the Christmas Stories are,

about spirit messengers,

about hearing a directive

that’s intuitive, therefore counter.

We call it “spirit” because

it is an ‘other’ way of knowing,

seeing, hearing, feeling – a way

that we can’t analyze, measure,

or control, sometimes even grasp;

but that is cosmically accurate

and I think we like to gasp,

“Fertility in post-menopausal women?”

“Conception without ordinary intercourse?”

“A newborn in a hay box?”

“Overwhelming intellect and universal significance

coming out of dirt poverty and little-town mentality?”

2 x 4s!  to our thick heads to get our attention.

“This is not your usual way of thinking,” it shouts.

“This is a different level of consciousness!” they sing.

“This is a new paradigm, an evolutionary development

we are announcing.”

“Power is not what you think it is,” they flatly state.

“You are slow to comprehend but your Father loves you

anyway.  Come and See!”

The Unfathomable Source of All Life loves us like a baby

and that is Good, good news for all people.

Let’s sing and eat and hug each other and act like angels.

Happy Christmas all year long.
