  • An Offering: A #Writephoto #haibun

    Why do you come before me, bearing the cup I cannot bear to drink? Only two days ago, I heard the gospel of the Nativity. You gave birth to your son and laid him in a manger. The Logos, beyond all eternity, incarnate in a newborn. And now, your outstretched hand holds that cup. It’s…
