And the Word
was made flesh,
and dwelt among us . . .
full of grace
and truth.
From John 1: 14 (KJV)

almost Christmas
almost Christmas
through the evergreens
clear blue sky
Christmas night sky
Christmas night sky
becomes sunrise
tree branches
covered with ice
glisten in the sun
Christmas Candle
lighting the
Christmas candle
tiny flame
transforms
the night
