“Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright. . .”


A timeless melody, a meditative
lyric first performed 200 years ago.
A favorite. Always.

Blessings for today and beyond.
I hope all is calm in your world.

“Sleep in heavenly peace.”

It’s the feeling,
and it arrives each year.
It is never the same, but
is there, for those who believe.
You may catch the spirit early,
or it may just come upon you
tonight or tomorrow. . . 
you know it when you feel it.
It changes as you grow older,
move about the planet, or in
the way you celebrate with
friends or family.
You change with it.
Embrace the change, enjoy
the feelings and emotions
that come along with it.
I wish you peace + love.

Each tear, each fear, every
vulnerability, expressed or
denied, is a reminder
we are all human.
We are fragile, we are flawed;
remorseful, stubborn, smart,
confused, yet coherent.
Anger. Love.
Sadness. Surprise.
Disgust. Envy.
Our emotions, when it
comes right down to it, are
what holds it all together,
even when it feels everything
is falling apart.
We are fragile, yet,
even through our apparent
weaknesses, we are powerful.
This allows us to make it
through another day.
Hold on.
You can get through
anything and everything
life throws at you.
