And we have seen his glory,
the glory of an only Son coming from the Father,
filled with enduring love.
—John 1:14
.
The power of God.
A tiny leaf caught between two worlds
Suspended by invisible threads
Dancing to the still small voice.
Deeper and deeper
Into the person
The Son of Man
Who is God.
Glory.
And Might.
Power.
And Majesty.
Fully Alive.
Beautifully Human.
Walking Wisdom.
The Lightness of Fullness.
The Heaviness of Simplicity.
Doxa. Doxa. Doxa.
Honor.
Adoration.
And Praise.
Doxa. Doxa. Doxa.
Beyond praise.
The Power of One.
He Is.
We’re not.
He stands.
We fall down.
He dies.
We live.
Doxa to the Father.
Doxa to the Son.
Doxa to the Holy Spirit.
Doxa. Doxa. Doxa.
Between two worlds.
Is a man.
Who says “I AM”.
A tiny leaf suspended.
He is Lord.
He is God.
Invisible threads.
He Is.
And so now are we.
Dancing.
Still.
Small.
Voice.
The Word.
The Depth.
Beyond the signs.
To the Person Himself.
The Person of Jesus.
Deeper.
And deeper.
Into His flesh.
Into His Glory.
Doxa is Thy Name.
Dwelling among us.
Abiding within us.
Still small leaves caught between two worlds.
Suspended by invisible threads.
Dancing to the breath of God.
From deep to deep.
Depth to depth.
It never ends.
Doxa. Doxa. Doxa.
Doxa in the highest.

The Victor's Place 
doxa, doxa, doxa if we could only truly believe in the fullness of
Glory already given in our lives we would be singing every day.
there is an old brother in our monastery who, when nobody is around
sings beautiful songs of prayer out loud, at times it sounds like opera,
other times it sounds like children singing, and its extremely peaceful
I think that is true glory alive on earth.
be glorious and happy today and all thru the Easter season.
Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again.
