We must keep beauty before us in the midst of the infuriating.

Here is an extraordinary piece worth hearing, honoring the variations through centuries and cultures on Beethoven’s theme for Elise.

There’s nothing more relevant than truth. We’ve never needed it more, prophetically spoken to power and to people.

Something knocked the breath out of me this week. Don’t get hung up on that. A lot of people have been hit by things 1000 times worse. It really got me. I’ve spent a good bit of my morning prayer this week asking God to help me back up and settle my queasy insides. Anyway, there’s this bird . . .

You can only help people by entering into their darkness. You cannot talk people out of suffering, trauma, addiction, or great grief. You must go to them, sit with them, listen and understand; then little by little you can begin to walk with them toward a new and different place.

Christmas declares the surprise we barely believe can be true:

God did not wait for us to reach up to Him by our virtues, to deserve Him and attain Him. But God came down, He stooped low, even beneath us, to serve us and win us.

Have a Merry (that is, astonished, awe-struck) Christmas!
