I love this question, but don't have an answer...yet. When I was in Jerusalem, one of the holy sites had this powerful mosaic, depicting Jesus as the mother hen (Matt 23: 37--O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing). I wonder if I'm drawn more to the image of being gathered than to the mother hen, and perhaps both the gathering and mothering together is part of what I love about this image.
I'm still thinking on names for JC...
Naming is elusive.
I AM sure covers all the bases at any given time.
I guess I don't have a poetic bone in my body.
