Advent Christkindl church

snowless gloomy cold winter afternoon

leafless bare the coniferous tree

soulless cozy sad dry rough Advent

the body of the church is filled with light from the spotlight

miracles still happen today

enter

calm silence

the soul is deeply sheltered by contentment far away

the wreath of lights around the Christ Child shines graciously

also crown of thorns and cross

(Lengauer Engelbert, Dez.06)
