"Star Witness”
by Beth Merizon
How could we be anything but true
believers –
We shepherds who heard the news
first-hand from heaven.
There stood that angel on the
grazing ground
Like a white fan,
Like a white blaze,
lighting the air all around;
Telling us the Promised One had come,
And where He was,
And what His destiny.
And then that great arc of angels
Singing a gloria.
Yes, I know that Quakers don't recognize liturgical seasons. But I
like Advent and so will be sharing various readings during this season
(all of which fit with my understanding of Friends faith and life).
I am a minister, photographer, retreat leader, author and Quaker -- albeit one who's not always good at being a good Quaker. I am the author of "Awaken Your Senses," "Holy Silence: The Gift of Quaker Spirituality," "Mind the Light: Learning to See with Spiritual Eyes" and "Sacred Compass: The Path of Spiritual Discernment" (foreword by Richard Foster). This blog is a compendium of writing, photography, seriousness and silliness -- depending on my mood.
