Love this framing. When you peel back the dogma, the Nativity really does read like a guided tour through the human psyche. Mary as the receptive heart, Joseph as the part of us trying to make sense of a mystery it can’t engineer, Herod as the ego panicking anytime something sacred tries to be born.

It is wild how a story so old keeps mapping so precisely onto the inner life now.

I appreciate you offering this conversation, especially in a season where the surface noise is loud enough to drown out the whole point.

Is it going to be recorded? I am going to a grandson concert that night and hate to miss this
