The past is just a goodbye,
A dream already dreamt.
The future a dream coming true.
Happy Dreams to all!

In the western sky this evening,
a low cloud ceiling left a narrow window close to the horizon,
and after dark you might not have noticed this slice of sky
if Venus hadn't appeared in it shining so brightly like a persistent irresistible smile!
Our sister planet got
dimmer and dimmer
as she neared the horizon
before disappearing altogether.
WOW!

Perhaps Christmastime is a good time to remember
that Spark of Divinity
that is in every human on the planet.
Including
you and me!
Here's to remembering
and to taking ourselves more lightly!

An open gate, an open door – it's inviting.
Will you come to the feast?
Or will you say,
"Oh, I wasn't invited."
or
"I don't have anyone to go with."
You're invited.
Everyone comes alone.
The feast begins when you wake up and it never ends.
Coming?

Although the Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year, it is a celebration of light.
It's the birthday of the sun.
Our red star turns his warm face back to earth once again and like the ancients,
we are assured that there will be another spring and another harvest and back again to another winter solstice.
So, make peace with the year behind you and get your dreams rolling for the one to come.
Here comes the sun!

Happy Winter Solstice. The days will now imperceptively be getting longer.

Where we put our attention,
our energy,
our focus,
there is where we live.
Our life is there.
It might be little things that hijack our thoughts,
or huge things,
but these big and small things
are the ones
that will grow and thrive.

Lots of vultures in the neighborhood.
Owls at night,
vultures by day.
Scavengers and hunters
and
humans?
Thrifty scavengers
and
smart shoppers!
