The
Nourishing Darkness
This is the season when we remember that darkness may be fruitful—the
darkness of the soil where the hidden seed sleeps, or the darkness of
the womb where new life is created. This is the darkness of gestation,
the darkness in which creative spirit begins to make the first silent
stirrings, taking form and flesh. We celebrate the deep compatibility
of the divine and the human as we rejoice in the Incarnation—in
God’s life being revealed to us in the baby boy born at Bethlehem,
God being birthed into human life, taking on human nature from the inside
out.

essay “A
Celtic Christmas”
