BITTERSWEET
to such bittersweet longings

beginnings and endings appeal
they level waiting and anticipating

then a star shines brightest
and wise men follow their hearts
finding love swaddled in a manger

    Born to die.
    Bittersweat indeed. Such innocent beginnings, willing to give His life for the sins of All who are willing to believe.

    We are entering the time of anticipation of the birth.
    So many had misconceptions about what that would mean. Overthrowing Rome.
    But He chose the most radical path - winning a much greater victory.

    Oh the reference to the star that guided the three wise men is so warming and heartfelt. I smile as I think of that event of the Christmas story.

    The Magi surely knew that their journey, going and coming, was a bittersweet one.
