Screenshot from the Forward Movement Day by Day app showing the two Christmas collects from the BCP 1979. The read: “The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. O God, you make us glad by the yearly festival of the birth of your only Son Jesus Christ: Grant that we, who joyfully receive him as our Redeemer, may with sure confidence behold him when he comes to be our Judge; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.” and “The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Almighty God, you have given your only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and to be born [this day] of a pure virgin: Grant that we, who have been born again and made your children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit; through our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom with you and the same Spirit be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.”

A poem titled “Coffee Mug” with the following text: My favorite coffee mug for a long time Was the one my brother-in-law gave me before he died. It came from the coffee shop My sister worked at during that time of life. I took it everywhere with me All up and down that campus hill. But then I tripped and fell on the library’s Cinderella stairs, And it shattered all over the ground. Oh, life is full of impermanence. Memento mori, memento vivere. Oh, that’s what makes life beautiful. Wabi sabi. That’s just the way it is.
