Aber mit der Heimat
geht man immer herum,
durch die Welt,
dort und dort
Peter Handke
No one could describe
the Word of the Father;
but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos,
He consented to be described, and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.

Oh no, Laura. Not confusing at all. So very true! Thank you, Peter, for sharing this. I needed it for myself today, but I also am thinking of many others — I see their faces — who could use this blessing today. So I will pass this on. Bless you, my brother across the ocean!
