It is so good to have these Twelve Days of Christmas to savor the mystery of God's coming to live as one of us. It was brilliant of the early Christians to settle on this darkest time of the year to celebrate the birth of Christ. The early twilight and the snow coax me to be still and reflective.
Judy Collins sings a song "The Fallow Time" about nature's need to have a season that is not productive in which the earth can rest. It is our need as well. This fallow time teaches me that being is more important than doing.
