Contemplating DESIRE
In the calm water of the love-nights,
where you were begotten, where you have begotten,
a strange feeling comes over you
when you see the silent candle burning
now you are no longer caught
in the obsession with darkness,
and a desire for higher love-making
sweeps you upward...
(johann wolfgang von goethe)

Darkness :: Desire :: Courage :: Hope
"Advent," from Latin adventus, means "coming" and we wait for the coming of the baby Jesus at Christmas, as well as for the full manifestation of God's Kin(g)dom on earth (the second "coming," or second advent.)
Mapping Advent--Throughout the four weeks leading up to Christmas, we will be documenting our experiences, reflections, and ideas and mapping out our collective journey through the Advent season.
This is for everybody, non-artists and artists and will include a variety of ways to engage. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |
