THE WORD MADE FLESH

In the Gospel of Saint John we read:

The Word became fesh; he came to dwell among us… through him all things came to be; no single thing was created without him. All that came to be was alive with his life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines on in the dark, and the darkness has never quenched it.

Look steadily at the darkness. It won’t be long before you see the light. Gaze at things. It won’t be long before you see the Word. 

The Word became flesh; he came to dwell among us…

And stop those frantic efforts to change flesh back into words. Words, words, words!

(The Song Of The Bird by Anthony de Mello)
