December 7, Second Sunday of Advent
Is 40:1-5, 9-11/2 Pt 3:8-14/Mk 1:1-8
Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God.
Is 40.
In Advent Time
I walked
in Advent time,
walked the old fire road
up the canyon
where winter sycamores
made white lace
with their bare branches
and oaks and red toyons
glistened with fog.
At the lake
a gray shadow
lifted its wings,
powerful heron wings over reed-still water,
wings that whispered,
“Peace on earth.
It will be –
peace on earth.”
Mantra: It will be – peace on earth.
