Daily Signet
I am grateful to all those who throughout human history have reached with their minds to God, tried to reach all of the way. Who reached without expectation, without attachment, reaching only from the need to reach, the joy of reaching, who tried to reach all the way. During this season of the star, we give thanks to those who first experienced this gift of mind as if epiphany, to those who first saw the idea, the eidos, the shape of a spiritual cosmos and man’s place in it. “A sighting that had nothing to do with telescopes or observatories – one that could only be made in the depths of the human soul.”
In this season we think of the teachers who teach and what was waiting in us becomes real…
We think of the magi who saw a star, a potential, a world’s chance to be…
Who didn’t know what the particular potential of the star was…
Who didn’t know what world’s chance to be it was…
But they, beloving, revealed their believing and came to worship…
During this season of epiphany may we receive the gift of pure vision and if we see a star in the East, may we have the courage to load up the camels. Today.
May we be seers and not mere spectators and reach for the star, try to reach all of the way.
Because Advent is over and so is the season of waiting.
