Advent is a season in the Christian church’s liturgical year that in many ways complicates our consumerist culture’s approach to the holiday season leading up to Christmas. Are the days following Thanksgiving anything other than a mad dash toward Christmas? Is it possible that there’s an alternative to this rush of days, one that might offer spaciousness, slowness, a stillness in which we understand the difference between generous attention and insatiable wanting?
Thanks, Andrew for your thoughts. The art you selected is great. I love the Harold Smith.
