"Shall we liken Christmas to the web in a loom?
There are many weavers, who work into the pattern the experience
of their lives. When one generation goes, another comes to take up
the weft where it has been dropped. The pattern changes as the
mind changes, yet never begins quite anew. At first, we are not
sure that we discern the pattern, but at last we see that,
unknown to the weavers themselves, something has taken
shape before our eyes, and that they have made something
very beautiful, something which compels our understanding."

On that note, there will be a brief interlude from updates on the blog ...
