His
Birth
Were
You born here?
It
is somehow easy to imagine.
See
how people have decorated the place?
I've
heard that St. Jerome prayed from just behind this wall because he liked
to feel you near him in this special way.
Imagine
her, on the straw.
Imagine
You, being born.
Here.
Not
two thousand years ago, at all,
now.
For
unto us a child is given
unto
us a son is born.
The
witnesses, the lights of heaven, the animals, the shepherds, your parents.
Its
as if there was a window to this place,
from
every age and every time,
so
that we can look directly into it, and share.
Wherever
You were born,
You
are born again,
here.
Now.
