have you seen it?
there is great need for it
a great void without it
all kinds of troubles
all forms of foolishness
when it is misplaced
i have seen this
not only around me
but at times in the mirror
what is this we sometimes forget?
Dignity
the Incarnation demands it
our Beloved became one of us
as a growing fetus
He gave dignity to the unborn
as a child to children
as a working man to work
as the Son of Mary to family
as the Son of God to the Father ( Abba)
by living for 30 years in silence
He gives dignity to daily toil of living
by His 3 years preaching
dignity to the Truth of an invisible God's love
His suffering gives dignity to our suffering
He redeems suffering!
His death even gives dignity to death
His empty tomb
gives dignity to our hope
as Bob Dylan asks in his song,
"Have you seen dignity?"

Hey Brother,
I have seen it, especially when people are in front of God and his
glory. Down in the mountains for fall, God gave everyone a glorious
day. People were being as they should, loving and considerate to one another and enjoying his beauty. It was a brief but Holy moment.
It may be lonely but that journey is worth it.
Peace be with you.
Peace to you brother..
