Apocalypse Now!

Advent reminds us of the first coming of Jesus and that brings with it wonderings about "the second coming" or "God's reign on earth as it is in heaven" or "the end of time" or "the apocalypse"…
(Of course many people don't wonder about any of the above! But keep reading anyway :-)

Two helpful thoughts from Cynthia Bourgeault:

"'The end of time' actually occurs whenever we step fully into the now!"

"The word apocalypse does not actually mean a fiery final catastrophe. It literally means an 'uncovering' or 'unveiling' - as for example, when the wrappings are removed from a package and you get to see what's inside."


Stepping fully
into this present moment
I can unwrap
the Presence
of Christ
and experience
a wondrous
apocalypse now.
