Why does the Incarnation matter?
Ask the One unbound by space, unconstrained by time.
Ask the One unreached by the laws of physics.
Ask the Ruler of galaxies, the Impulse behind creative thought.
Why enter space and time?
Why this particular planet, this occupied country, this backwater town?
Why take on form and shape? Why become matter at all?
Robed in homespun, yes, and beneath the swaddling bands
clothed in this most surprising substance, human flesh. So easily sullied.
Why subject Oneself to this decomposable fate?
Was it just so we could have a tete-a-tete?
