I Have a really New project. Getting ready to publish stories and photos with a publisher in New York. I hope it all works out. So far so good. Have been thinking about it for a year or two. Finally taking the plunge. Hopefully a series of three books. 27 Manuscripts have already been submitted. Plus a ton of photos for them to sort out. Just waiting to see what's next ...Have been rewriting and rewriting for weeks. This is one of the rewritten stories. (One of my favs)...
MAGI
The man
saw the night let go of its dreams and fall
close to dawn.The star had long since
vanished. The man hurried along the
street, blackened and gritty with
gravel. Sleet slapped at his walking cloak.
The man stopped for a moment to adjust
his pack. Still a long ways to go. Must keep moving. Must keep on. Must not let
them find me…..must not let them find Him.
The man
could not believe he had been there. The
three of them. Together they stood. Together they kneeled to warm their hands at the fire. His fire.
Gifts they gave. Gifts so rare. As they sat and wondered at this Child.
This little one who had the eyes to see,
and the ears to hear.
Candles flickered..
His parents hovered, as the Child took the man’s hand. And there was peace.
Such peace the man felt. Then the three of them left. To get ahead of the storm. They each
took a different road . They would never
see each other again.
“You saw me,
” the man said. “You saw me…”
The man knew he must keep going. Into the bleak midwinter. The others would be coming. They were relentless. He was
no longer weary. For the man had held the hand of Him who was all things. This haunting,
magical night of nights….
