Strange how this stuff happens but before I posted my #adventweight tweets and without either of us knowing what the other was doing, Lori was asked to post an advent reflection and she wrote this amazing poem.<\/p>\n
There is a wait
\nand the wait weighs heavy
\nIt breathes deeply
\nas if asleep
\nnot stirring
\nTry to reach around it
\nBut as if magnetic
\nIt draws you
\nembraces<\/p>\n
So you wait
\nand the wait weighs heavy<\/p>\n
The wait moves slowly
\nIt won\u2019t be hurried
\nCannot be coaxed
\nblackmailed
\nreasoned with
\nor forced<\/p>\n
It just waits
\nand the wait weighs heavy<\/p>\n
\u2018and G-d said…\u2019
\nG-d breathed
\nG-d became
\nwas and is and is to come
\nand we waited
\nand we wait<\/p>\n
we wait
\nand the wait weighs heavy<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
