CHRISTMAS JOURNEY…DAY 5


He brought light out of darkness,
not out of a lesser light;
He can bring thy summer out of winter,
though thou have no spring.

John Donne (1572-1631)
"Sermon for Christmas Day, 1624"

Weaver…

I certainly understand. Over the years, I've really come to appreciate Donne's depth and beauty myself. Though I've never found it in another Christmas anthology, this whole piece is quite wonderful.
