3 full weeks since my last entry. Recent pilgrimage to Manitoba has left me a little spread out. I'm just now starting to "land".

I've been "out" for a year now. All the epiphanies of wonder and oneness now set backdrop for new and intense awareness of smallness and seperateness. I read a quote in a book recently that went something like "one man's epiphany is another man's triviality"

Hmm, did a search of Epiphany and discovered an ancient Christian Feast which I was unaware of and it's not too late to celebrate it.

1. Epiphany
a. A Christian feast celebrating the manifestation of the divine nature of Jesus to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi.

....Jesus gave us the example: we are not called to summon the media, to advertise the coming attractions, to be the next big thing. We are called to do this as Jesus did it: in smallness and hiddenness, in weakness and brokenness, in humility and trust, in faith, hope and love.

Let us contemplate the smallness and hiddenness of the first epiphany and be ready in our hearts to imitate it in all of the tiny, insignificant interactions of our lives. Let us pray to be true to the meaning of Christ’s infancy, to be protected from the Herods of this world, and to accomplish our mission that we received in the Lord at our Baptism. AMEN.
