“Life in a prison cell may well be compared to Advent; one waits, hopes, and does this, that, or the other -- things that are really of no consequence -
the door is shut, and can be opened only from the outside.”
-- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
(Meditation on above quotation)
We put up the tree
and the lights.
Write the cards
Buy the gifts.
Invite friends over.
Light the Advent candle.
What else is left do
but to wait for Jesus
to set us free?
(or are we serving a life sentence?)
