I had two choices this Christmas. I could either throw myself into the gutter of fealing hopeless and horrible or I could get on this damned pony and ride. For God’s sake we’re having a baby born around here so saddle up! I reached for some of the heavy spiritual books that I sought out and lived on for awhile when my whole belief system fell apart for the umpteenth time after my disabled son was born.
Loo Tzu, Chinese founder of Taoism
Be empty. Be still. Watch everything just come and go emerging from the source. Returning to the source. This is the way of nature.
William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury
If we are traveling heavenward, we are already in heaven
Monoimos, Gnostic teacher
Abandon the search for God. Look for him by taking yourself as the starting point. Learn who it is within you who makes everything his own and says, “My God, my mind, my thought, my soul, my body.” Learn the source of sorrow, joy, love, hate. If you carefully investigate these matters, you will find God in your self.
Crowfoot, Native American warrior and orator

My christmas tree bulbs are the size of beach balls and the lights are colored flood lights. Good thing I am deep in the Maine woods so it doesn’t bother any neighbors.
Don’t forget to lean down and give those kids a kiss.

Let’s hope Santa can give everyone what Bishop Tutu and HH the Dalai Lama wish for.
Happy Holidays Tigana! Keep on doing what you do – making the world a better place.
this day and every day…
may the things that bring you joy multiply….
may the things that you hold close to your heart be conserved and flourish….
may all of us come to clarity about the human dilemna…..
may we all walk the way toward liberation for all of creation……
