Feasting, Feet Up, Fun and Spirit

 

Many years ago  a reporter for an evening current affairs TV program was walking through Sydney’s city centre asking Christmas shoppers ” What does  Christmas mean to you? “

 

In the midst of grumbles about shopping frustration and others filled with heart felt sentiment an old bloke jumped at the chance,

 

“Well, what really annoys me is how these PEOPLE want to put religion into EVERYTHING. I mean, WHAT does religion have ANYTHING to do with Christmas?! I mean REALLY?” at which point the reporter crossed to the studio with a cheeky sign-off.

 

Sometimes we forget the original meaning of occasions and events. They get lost. Like the word “holidays” was originally “holy days” because celebrations and rest days were traditionally governed by the religion of the land and an observance to their faith.

 

It’s easy to get cynical and become complacent in this consumer driven world, with the pressure to find the ‘perfect’ gift and create the ‘perfect image’ to the world.

 

Remember too, Perception is relative and often skewed into Mis-Perception by the stress and demands of ultra busy lives.

 

It’s because of this that a Spiritual awareness is important to help frame the Values, direction and Purpose in Your Life.

 

For a world that has been in constant religious warfare for 1000’s of years it is important to note that this time of year carries the energy of the Celebration of Light in the Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Wican faiths. That’s an interesting sense of congruency.

 

This time is also an opportunity in the midst of your well deserved feasting, resting and fun to find a quiet moment and ask yourself, “What Do I Believe? “.

 

What helps You find and keep Your Centre? What fills Your Heart with Joy and Gratitude? Share and Celebrate that. For You. And for those around You.

 

It’s that sense of Knowing that holds you steady when times get tough, that keeps You True to Your Vision that ” is in the Highest Good of All Concerned”.

 

Then everyone benefits.

2 Minute Poetic Moment…

 

BETROTHED TO THE UNKNOWN

 

We seldom notice how each day is a holy place

Where the eucharist of the ordinary happens,

Transforming our broken fragments

Into an eternal continuity that keeps us.

 

Somewhere in us a dignity presides

That is more gracious than the smallness

That fuels us with fear and force,

A dignity that trusts the form a day takes.

 

So at the end of this day, we give thanks

For being betrothed to the unknown

And for the secret work

Through which the mind of the day

And wisdom of the soul become one.
