Goosebumps.

...They're what I got after reading this poem. It was printed on the front page of the church bulletin yesterday.  It references my favorite, favorite verses of the whole Bible. 

"Who on earth saw him first, knowing 

truly who he was? Belly to belly, when

John, prophet in utero, distinguished 

in the natal soup the fetal bones, the body

curled like a comma, eyes tight, skull

packed with universal wisdom,

this unborn cousin began to dance.

And when she, birth-giver-

her ordinary vision arrowing down between

her legs through pain and straw to her son's dark,

slime-streaked hair, to his very skin, red with

the struggle of being born-she lifted him

to her breast, kissed the face of God,

and felt her own heart leap." -- Lucy Shaw
