Awakening to the Suffering Body of Christ by Christopher Bissett

"My mother was born at three in the morning, which happened to be the precise time of the solstice. From that moment, the world literally started getting brighter. I think about that sometimes, these two women laboring in the darkness of a world still recovering from war to bring my mother to the light." Christopher is a poet, writer, nurse, husband, and father of five. He lives in Raymond, Alberta, Canada. This piece was read by Steven Kapp Perry.
