An Invitation
The moon luscious and full only a few days ago, now rises deep in the night, it's luminous orb drained away to only a sliver of itself. Soon, even that, like the year, will melt away into darkness. Much has happened to each of us and not all in equal measure over the year slipping away. In the aftermath we often forget what does remain equally given and available to all--- the landscape of the world in which we begin the new year. When we are in touch with it, aware of its existence around us, we are connecting to the real world, a place we are meant to be a part of and which is able to sustain and nourish and illuminate the fierce and stunning experience of our lives. This real world contains gifts far more precious than the physical wealth we have taken from it. For the month of December, I invite you to join me each day as we celebrate what is freely given to all of us.
