Happy Winter Solstice...Merry Christmas...(belated) Happy Hanukah. What do all the winter holidays have in common? A celebration of Light, which comes during the darkest time of the year. According to Native American myth, December's moon is the Moon of Suffering. According to Nancy Wood, author of "Dancing Moon", published bt Doubleday, "Out of suffering comes compassion for people we never noticed before, the ones in a crowd whose eyes we cannot meet." I challenge all who read this blog to seek out those eyes, to connect, to have compassion - and carry the compassion into 2008. We are all children of the Universe, and we are all Brothers and Sisters. Reach out, touch the hand of the one whose eyes cannot meet yours. No matter what your religious beliefs, the Winter Solstice is a time to remember that dark times descend on all of us, and the Light lives within all of us as well. Let your Light shine! Pass it on!
