Advent Peace

Advent Peace

From  silent Bethlehem

came new understanding..

A new awareness of our

birth as Peace..

From ancient days

from beyond time

and experienced Now

as simply I am...

This silent experience

of Grace

may arrive with labor

 searching and suffering

or more directly

sitting on a bench

lakeside...

Micah 5:2-4New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

The Ruler from Bethlehem

2 [a] But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah,

    who are one of the little clans of Judah,

from you shall come forth for me

    one who is to rule in Israel,

whose origin is from of old,

    from ancient days.

3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time

    when she who is in labor has brought forth;

then the rest of his kindred shall return

    to the people of Israel.

4 And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord,

    in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.

And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great

    to the ends of the earth;
