Since it is a week before Christmas, I wanted to share some articles regarding the holidays.
One of the things I have learned in the past few months is the power of blessing people
Here is a blessing I wrote for the Christmas season. I hope you enjoy it.


May you not be trapped

by gaudiness and feasting.

May you sleep well, knowing

what does and does not matter



May you delight in the lights and laughter.

May you hear the singing of carols

and the ringing of church bells

and know their meaning and message



May you stand outside

the circle of obligation

and give up following the crowd

finding solace in the season.


May you gather under starlight,

invited by God’s angels

to stand beside the manger

to partake in the Gift of infinite love.



And may you (if only

for this one evening)

experience stillness and beauty

of this singular and silent night.

Spring


Spring  peeks
Around the corner
Sly and grinning
Like a teasing child

Secure in believing
That the world
Will one day belong
To him.

Thanksgiving


Thank you Father for the crown of life
Laid up for me in heaven
Thank you father for the tree of life
From which I have sprung
Thank you father for the pulse of life
Drumming and humming around me
Thank you father for the world of life
Churning and changing forever
Thank you Father for the pain of life
That molds me into what it am
Thank you father for the love of life
That gives me reason to live
Thank your father for the end of life
Where opens the Great Door.
Thank you father for all of life
Thank you father for being life
Thank you father for life..
