Christmas Eve, 2005
Christmas Eve, 2005.
It is that time of the year once more to find and renew the song in our hearts.
In a world filled with fault finding, denial, and rampant abuse of power on so many levels, yet our hearts crave healing, hope and love.
When we are lucky, we can find the song in our families, in cherished relationships, in friends, songs of wonder, appreciation, gratitude and humility. This year, I feel like the luckiest man alive. Truly I believe myself to be.
The gift of faith and the generosity of those who love me is beyond deserving. To whom more is given, more is expected. I can never love enough, generously enough, passionately enough for all that I have received.
I cannot begin to thank all of those persons who have been part of my life this year. They will have received some token by now.
It is not what happens, but how we take it, what we do with it, that determines the future.
I choose to live my life daily in wonder, appreciation and amazement.
I will celebrate amazement in my stories and storytelling.
When love is Lord of heaven and earth, how can we keep from singing? (Hymn)
Let this verse be my epitaph. I will celebrate the giftedness of all that is.
And the wonder of this piece of clay.
Namaste!
