We are waiting. December 29th marks an odd day, not close enough for Christmas celebration, too far from New Year's Eve/Day. We are waiting.
For the light to shine so clearly no darkness does overcome it.
For peace to reign in Jerusalem, home to 3 major World Religions, all based in peace.
For some equitable system so the poor are not oppressed by the wants of the middle class and above.
For our families to be places of welcome and joy, rather than rancor and divide.
For delight to return.
We are waiting for the new to redefine the old, or worn out or rotten, or hopeful, or joyous, this mixture we call life.
Standing on the line of the new year, we wait--in hope, sorrow, anger, despair and deep joy, for you know what? We are not alone!
At least we have each other, and some of us hold to the ancient/contemporary belief of God. Who is very busy by the way even when we can't/don't take notice.
2010 is over, what will 2011 bring? New Life. Alleluia, Amen.
I love the optimistic outlook and sense of expectation in this blog. Thanks!
