First Day of Advent

Tulip in the kitchen window, December 2024


                    Who says tulips can't bloom in December?
                    My son says otherwise
                    and brings them in with the groceries

                    This one is almost spent
                    another day of translucent beauty
                    one more afternoon in the window

                    If my heart can learn to open
                    with her gentleness and ease
                    the glorious impossible becomes possible again





The Glorious Impossible is a children's book by Madeleine L'Engle 
"The birth of Jesus was a Glorious Impossible. Like love, it cannot be explained, it can only be rejoiced in."
