Merry Christmas!
"If, as Herod, we fill our lives with things, and again with things;
if we consider ourselves so unimportant that we must fill every
moment of our lives with action, when will we have the time to
make the long, slow journey across the desert as did the Magi? Or
sit and watch the stars as did the shepherds? Or brood over the
coming of the child as did Mary? For each one of us, there is a
desert to travel. A star to discover. And a being within ourselves to
bring to life." ~Author Unknown
"...Perhaps the Christmas spirit is our souls' knowledge that things, no matter how beautiful, are only things; that we were created, not always to do, but sometimes simply to be. Perhaps the Christmas spirit is a loving reminder that we must make time for the long, slow journey across the desert; we must take time to discover our star; we must honor the time necessary to brood over the coming of the authentic women we were created by Love to become. It has been said many times that our lives are gifts from God---that what we do with them is our gift in return.Today is the perfect day to remember this."
