Here in the middle of Advent
What are you waiting for?
Watching for?
Is it this?
A simple candle flame.
Flickering.
Mesmerizing.
Drawing you in
Until that is all you can see.
And for that moment
You and the candle are one.
Doing my best to find my way.

Several things I believe:
The most critical religious question of our day is how we will answer the question "Who is my neighbor?"
That which we know and name as God is more about the connections between us than something above us.
And this, from the poet Maya Angelou...
"Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better."
