Imagine the Woman, nine months pregnant, with her husband, travelling on the back of a donkey down the dusty trail from Nazareth to Bethlehem.
Imagine the road. How long or wide it is. How level or rough it is. Whether it passes over mountains or through valleys.
And now look at the end of the journey. A cave. How large or small it is. How high or low. How it is prepared.
See the couple in the cave. See the birth of the child. See the child. What do you do to help and assist.
Hear what they are talking about. Reflect on this.
Smell and taste the air, the fragrance, sense the soul, and of its virtues.
Touch the walls, the furniture, the people. Kiss and embrace with the people.
