At this time of the year
Christmas coming
for many
means
blood family
It is food
lists at the mall
celebrations
new clothes
and the history and identity that bind you tight together
I like another way
I like to find the Home in the unknown
the never met before
I like to find the comfortable familiarity
in a new brave soul
in the light or the pain of their eyes
and warmth of a deep breath before the truth comes..
With those I call tribe
the watching awake
we say all the things
without fear
to each other
sometimes it is met with a fierce wall
but not for long
we are not afraid to say all the words
My ideal Christmas
is to fill the room with souls
who would avoid the usual discomfort of blood
and share instead deep truth and vulnerable beauty
with those who have no attachment to their perfection
To be free
to be broken
or in pain
or beautifully happy
To be allowed to drop the masks
and be acceptable in oddness
the beauty seen in the real dance of self
the beauty seen in the raw...
This would be a Christmas
Jesu would be happy to walk amongst
among the wounded
and
the wise
and the unsure
the presents being
deep presence
and unconditional love
