"Aren't there annunciations

the lily glowed in it,
and the irridescent wings.
Consent, courage unparalleled,
opened her utterly...
...to bear in her womb
Infinite weight and lightness; to carry
in hidden, finite inwardness,
nine months of Eternity; to contain
in slender vase of being,
the sum of power -
in narrow flesh,
the sum of light.

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.
