In Advent, we wait for Christ to come to us.  We prepare our homes and hearts in purposeful passivity.  While waiting has intention and meaning, there is also a time to seek and to journey.  In all these endeavors we crave instruction.  What is the right way to undertake finding Christ?  Should I stay or should I go?  What is to be gained in the process?  Our In.Sight readings for December feature Leo Tolstoy’s instructional tale “Two Old Men” in which there are two very distinct approaches to pilgrimage and the poem “The Queens Came Late” where we witness an alternative Epiphany.

Supplemental Reading is “Far, Far From Bethlehem” by Norma Farber from her book “When It Snowed That Night.”
