While singing at the Catholic church on Christmas Eve the priest at one point suggested that we take this opportunity to experience a "renewed childhood." The connection of eternal happiness to the birth of a child, that most natural clean slate and boundless opportunity, stirs the mind and the heart alike.
Yesterday's post about how deeply spirituality is weaved into the soul of the long-lived is a lesson for us. It takes so many forms.
It's the appreciation of the vastness and beauty around us.
It's the expressions of goodness that we give and receive.
It's the faith that, sooner or later, things will turn out well.
Whether bundled with traditions or simply cradled in our own personal regard for well-being, it's my hope that we all can find a grace of spiritual self and community that fills and embraces us with warmth. That brings continued renewal to our future. That radiates love in all things.
