The night is upon us. Let us walk in light while the light. Then He went down from the hills and we followed Him. And Judas. followed afar off. And when we reached the lowland it was night. And Thomas, the son of Diophanes, said unto Him, Master, it is. If it is in your will. And Jesus answered Thomas, and He said, I have led you to the. I have brought you down to the.

Son of Man has. not where on earth to lay His head. And indeed I would now be alone. Many times did we stop and turn our faces towards Him, and we saw him. The only man among us who did not turn to behold Him in His aloneness. Judas Iscariot. And from that day Judas became sullen and distant. And methought. there was danger in the sockets of his eyes. And the night that Jesus was born we were visited by men. East. They were Persians who came to Esdraelon with the. Midianites on their way to Egypt. And because they. And I welcomed them and I said, My daughter has given birth to. Surely you will forgive me if I do not serve you as. Then they thanked me for giving them shelter. And after they had. We would see the new born. Now the Son of Mary was beautiful to behold, and she too was comely. Then they fell down and prayed in a strange tongue which we did not. And when I led them to the bedchamber prepared for them they walked. When morning was come they left us and followed the road to Egypt. She would look upon her babe, and then turn her face to the window. And there were valleys between her heart and mine. And the child grew in body and in spirit, and He was different from. He was aloof and hard to govern, and I could not lay. Him. But He was beloved by everyone in Nazareth, and in my heart I knew. Oftentimes He would take away our food to give to the passer by. And. He would give other children the sweetmeat I had given Him, before He. His own mouth. He would climb the trees of my orchard to get the fruits, but never. Himself. And He would race with other boys, and sometimes, because He was. He would delay so that they might pass the stake ere. He should reach it. And sometimes when I led Him to His bed He would say, Tell my. My mind will be. with them till their mind come to my morning. And many other wondrous words He said when He was a boy, but I am too. Now they tell me I shall see Him no more. But how shall I believe. I still hear His laughter, and the sound of His running about my. And whenever I kiss the cheek of my daughter His fragrance. His body seems to fill my arms. But is it not passing strange that my daughter does not speak of her. Sometimes it seems that my longing for Him is greater than hers. She. stands as firm before the day as if she were a bronzen image, while. Perhaps she knows what I do not know. Would that she might tell me. Perhaps something about His person. His words and swayed those who heard Him. For He was. comely, and the sheen of the day was upon His countenance. Men and women gazed at Him more than they listened to His argument. In my youth I had heard the orators of Rome and Athens and. Alexandria. The young Nazarene was unlike them all. They assembled their words with an art to enthral the ear, but when. Him your heart would leave you and go wandering into. He would tell a story or relate a parable, and the like of His. Syria. He seemed to spin. He would begin a story thus The ploughman went forth to the. Or, Once there was a rich man who had many vineyards. Or, A shepherd counted his sheep at eventide and found that. And such words would carry His listeners into their simpler selves. At heart we are all ploughmen, and we all love the vineyard. And in. the pastures of our memory there is a shepherd and a flock and the. And there is the plough share and the winepress and the. He knew the source of our older self, and the persistent thread of. The Greek and the Roman orators spoke to their listeners of life as. The Nazarene spoke of a longing that lodged in. They saw life with eyes only a little clearer than yours and mine. He. saw life in the light of God. I often think that He spoke to the crowd as a mountain would speak to. And in His speech there was a power that was not commanded by the. Athens or of Rome. He was. walking in the wheat field when I passed by with my handmaidens, and. He was alone. The rhythm of His steps was different from other mens, and the. His body was like naught I had seen before. Men do not pace the earth in that manner. And even now I do not know. He walked fast or slow. My handmaidens pointed their fingers at Him and spoke in shy whispers. And I stayed my steps for a moment, and raised my. Him. But He did not turn His face, and He did not look. And I hated Him. I was swept back into myself, and I was as. I had been in a snow drift. And I shivered. That night I beheld Him in my dreaming and they told me afterward. I screamed in my sleep and was restless upon my bed. It was in the month of August that I saw Him again, through my. He was sitting in the shadow of the cypress tree across my. He was still as if He had been carved out of stone, like. Antioch and other cities of the North Country. And my slave, the Egyptian, came to me and said, That man is. He is sitting there across your garden. And I gazed at Him, and my soul quivered within me, for He was. His body was single and each part seemed to love every other part. Was it my aloneness, or was it His fragrance, that drew me to HimEven now I do not know. I walked to Him with my scented garments and my golden sandals, the. Roman captain had given me, even these sandals. And when. I reached Him, I said, Good morrow to you. And He said, Good morrow to you, Miriam. And He looked at me, and His night eyes saw me as no man had seen me.
