Light. Joy. Peace on Earth. Love.<\/p>\nLight. Joy. Peace on Earth. Love.<\/p>\n
I feel myself going inward during this time of year. I know it is the change of seasons, with\u00a0winter coming. It is doing more examination of myself, my motivations, my desires, my\u00a0dreams, who I am. Winter brings one to focus internally, to cocoon and warm up to who\u00a0we really are.<\/p>\n
It is also the season of Light. The light of God, the celebration of Jesus’ birth,\u00a0a call to spend time with our family and friends. Time off of work and school to just be in\u00a0the light and love of one’s life. Even though the outer layers of my life have not slowed yet,\u00a0as I still go to work, drive children around in the evening, prepare meals, shop for gifts… I feel\u00a0internally that I am slowing and maybe just trying to be ‘present’ to it all.<\/p>\n
The call for\u00a0mindfulness is all around. The call to appreciate all that I have and all that I get to\u00a0experience. The difficult conversations I have with people who have lost a loved one and\u00a0this time of year, given this season serves as a reminder of their absence of loved ones.<\/p>\n
But even with that, there is a\u00a0beauty of the Season. As I\u00a0age, all I want is to know is the beauty of all around me. I am getting better and better at\u00a0seeing this aspect of people and situations… focusing on life, rather than the negativity or sorrow. I\u00a0wish to dwell in this space of bliss, peace, joy, Light… more and more often. When I touch\u00a0this place, everything makes greater sense. For when we come back to what God (or the Universe) wants for\u00a0each of us, then nothing, nothing in life is ‘wrong.’ What is that ‘want’ for each of us? To live a life of meaning and to touch others lives. Even difficult life events start to become part of the beautiful tapestry of\u00a0our lives. In seeing all of this, truly I can start to accept and believe this is indeed what is true and right.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the ‘Reason for the Season’ is to bring us to bear witness to the magic that is\u00a0unfolding in front of us… this beautiful and complicated thing called our Life.<\/p>\n
Sending you great love & light at this time of year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
