Echoes of Angels

The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn’t put it out.

Although it can certainly feel like it sometimes...

This old world so sweet and so bitter
Seeds of violence we humans have sown
And these weapons we still love to handle
May our children have strength to let go
When we look at the stars after midnight
Sparkling rumors of redemption at play
Can we still hear the echoes of angels
Who were singing that first Christmas day...

You can listen to the whole (melancholic, but who says you have to be merry at Christmas?) song here.

Gratefuls:
- that the light still shines, and always will
- hyacinth bulbs slowly unfolding
- Christmas Eve dinner at Cecílio and Ermelinda's in a while
