The donkey died today. Though he is unclean, we will eat him. Otherwise, we would surely die, too, and Joseph says that God wants us to live.
So we will eat the flesh of this sickly donkey, which never should have tried to walk all the way to Egypt. * * * *I will never forget the night I was chosen. I will remember it as long as I live and bear flesh. It was the agony of that night that first guided me toward this bitter road, where my feet now pace blistered and bleeding, where the flesh of a donkey now churns in my belly, where my eyes now water and squint against the stinging sand. I awoke that night to the sound of a star falling through my ear. Its light and heat swept through my body, carrying the voice, the will, the very seed of God Himself. Oh, the terror! And, oh, the pain. I tremble even now to recall it. The pain tore my skin from my soul. It burned my blood and melted my bones. It made a weeping beggar where once had lain a blossoming woman. Herod could nail me to a cross and watch the crows eat my flesh, and it would not hurt half so much as the entry of God into my womb. I thought that surely death was upon me. And in a way it was, for the moment that He claimed me, there died a girl of Galilee and was born a vessel of His will.
