"... not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."
Clement Clarke Moore
It is the day before Christmas, a time for reverence and sacred space. The reality, however, is that most people will spend this day in a tizzy. There will be frantic last minute dashes to the store, and last ditch efforts to connect and communicate over drinks, hors d'oeuvres and sweets. Hustle and bustle become the trademark instead of harmony and peace.
There is much to be said for candle light services or private meditative play. Hopefully, in our own way, we find an opening for insight and inspiration. We curl down into that private space where we can safely embrace all parts of the self. The desire for new birth and innocence simmers to the top.
So tomorrow is Christmas Day and what does that really mean in a nonmaterial way? Wondering how much time will be extended to meeting our spiritual needs ~vs~ the needs of others. Perhaps there will be time to honor all the blessed messengers who mysteriously walk upon our paths, shining light wherever they go.
