1st Sunday of Advent

So stay awake.
Because you do not know when the master is coming.
Deep winter envelopes the mind’s swirling lake.
The temperature is falling.The mood lowers.
Troubles , failure , fatigue.
Worries, even tears.
Stuck in the bottom league.

But if he comes unexpectedly.
He must not find you asleep.
So there is no need to cower dejectedly.
For he will envelope you in an eternal blissful sleep.

We are  the present  doorkeeper.
Not merely an  unconscious sleeper.

…….

If you stay awake
You may well meet the master
For he awaits you

See Mark 13 : 33 – 37
