Today's poem returned to the theme of the annunciation, with a poem called Annunciation by Gwyneth Lewis, which I posed some years back here

The image is part of the Jesus Mafa series, which I came across more than a decade ago.  This African art seems to express the progression described in the poem.

The prayer...

God of uncomplicated simplicity, and intricate beauty,

Glimpsed in the everyday scenes of domesticity

As much, if not more, than in high renaissance art,

Open our hearts and our minds to fresh insights,

New wisdom and renewed wonder

As, once again, we ponder the old, familiar story.

Amen
