"Christmas - 1954"

Stare
In awe
At Him
On straw --

Fleshed Law,
Fleshed Love,
Deity without flaw.

Look down
Above to see:
Kneel to
Mystery


-- The Rev. Robert H. Flood, C.S.B. (1919-1974)

    lovely zen simplicity. . . somehow reminds me of Meister Eckhart's comment that the apt metaphor isn't just about up or down, but in or out. God within. At-one-ment.
