I left organized religion behind many years ago now after an intensive immersion program for the first two decades of my life. This is the one time of our cyclic calendar when I tend to miss it - the trappings, the ceremony, the repetitive confirmations of belonging and love.
So this year, as I normally do for my inner listener alone, I would like to share with you some holiday cheer.
You, dear one, are joy.
You are peace.
You are love.
You shine like a star and glow like flame.
You bring life and warmth and happiness to those in your life, even when they have a hard time expressing it, even when you have a hard time seeing it.
I am blessed by the existence of you.
Thank you for making me more complete.
❤️
