Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

I'm an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), in private practice in Marietta, Georgia. I'm an Episcopagan who is involved in the Emergent Christian conversation. My writings on queer spirituality have been published in Whosoever and several other magazines. I live in a house-in-the-woods (Bear's Hermitage) in Marietta with Leonidas (Lenny) and Guy, Mighty Warrior Cats, and way too many books.

Advent: Light Looked Down...


click on the image to see and read it full-size

Credits: I saved this graphic to my computer several years ago, from Anglicans Online. According to that site, “This lovely poem was written by Laurence Housman (1865-1959). We came across it, years ago, quoted by HRL Sheppard in his essay ‘What is Meant by the “Kingdom of God”?’ in Asking Them Questions (Oxford University Press, 1936). That book is long out of print.”

Thanks for posting that image. I can see why one might want to keep a copy of it.

thank you - a wonderful meditation for the darkest of days, the solstice, which is also the time of the greatest hope.
