feast of st. lucy, 13 december

Today's the feast of St Lucy, 'the year's midnight' according to John Donne's 'A Nocturnal Upon St Lucy's Day', which was written before the Gregorian Calendar moved the feast away from the Winter Solstice. it begins:

John Donne, 1627 "Study me then, you who shall lovers be At the next world, that is, at the next spring; For I am every dead thing, In whom Love wrought new alchemy. For his art did express A quintessence even from nothingness" www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44122/...

A Prayer by Howard Thurman, 1951 #HowardThurman "As the sea gull lays in the wind current, / So I lay myself into the spirit of God."

Emily Dickinson, 1862 "And so of larger – Darkness – Those Evenings of the Brain – When not a Moon disclose a sign – Or Star – come out – within – The Bravest – grope a little – And sometimes hit a Tree Directly in the Forehead –"

Henry Vaughan, 1650 "There is in God, some say, A deep but dazzling darkness, as men here Say it is late and dusky, because they See not all clear. O for that night! where I in Him Might live invisible and dim!" www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/50441/...

Howard Thurman, "Love or Perish" #HowardThurman #love "Our only responsibility is to love. Whether we are loved back, whether love becomes productive in ways that we can measure -- this is not our business. The nature of love, is to love!" youtu.be/3t2AtErMO4Q

Howard Thurman, "Reconciliation", 1963 #HowardThurman #love "There is nothing outside ourselves -- no circumstance, no condition, no vicissitude -- that can ultimately separate us from the love of God or of one another. And we pour out our gratitude to God that this is so!"

Howard Thurman, "Keep Alive the Dream in the Heart", 1951 #HowardThurman "It is one with the living water welling up from the very springs of Being...The dream is the quiet persistence in the heart that enables a man to ride out the storms of his churning experiences."
