#My1FwordToday: To all near and dear: I dont do birthdays and anniversaries, but may the blessings of Christmas be yours all through the New Year! - Frank & Christine The whole concept of God taking human shape had never made much sense to me. That was because, I realised one wonderful day, it was so simple. For people with bodies, important things like love have to be embodied. Thats all. God had to be embodied, or else people with bodies would never in a trillion years understand about love. — Jane Vonnegut Yarmolinsky IN BETHLEHEM’S BIRTH By Frank Raj It is the evening of my days; age is re-sculpting my face Immortal when young I ignored evidence of this phase Rarely did I think I would eventually conclude the race How sweet are the hopes and pleasures of our youth Futile if life is not under-girded by liberating truth Divine, vital nourishment to anticipate eternal fruit I wish I’d understood early how quickly life concludes Strength depletes, the skin wrinkles and time deludes With teasing memories of promising days we pursued Regret for the loss of my youth does not figure very high That phase when my life was mostly big and small lies Pride and ambition reigned, time I thought I could buy I wish I had learned to be alert about my enemies within The most dangerous of all, camouflaged stylishly, hidden Invincible, until Bethlehem’s birth brought new life in Many beloved friends and family have moved on ahead For those taken unaware I grieve, who did not see in Galilee Gods purpose and love, as they choose to live so carelessly The evening of our lives I know is not the time to be forlorn It’s a chance to innovate and discover newness in every dawn To engage in lifes greatest adventure, and learn to be reborn
