Yesterday on the radio I listened as Ed Bacon and Elizabeth Lesser spoke of the different types of Celebrations, mostly in December.
How December is seen as the dark night of the soul, when the days are so short and the nights long, and so many religions have a Spiritual Celebration in December.
It was very interesting to hear the different ways so many different religions are all celebrating the same thing.
Does it really matter what you call that Celebration Day, what traditions and rituals you use, if we are all focusing on Spirit.
What a great reminder, it isn’t about how we Celebrate the Spirit, but if we do.
They spoke of how Santa is an example of the unlimited Spirit, how it spreads love, joy and peace, how giving is where you will find Spirit.
They spoke of there being no room for the Birth of Spirit, and how still today we become so busy doing, that we too forget to make room for our own Spirits.
It was an enlightening look at the approaching Celebration Season, and how we should honor all traditions and different cultures as they focus on Spirit. There is only one spirit but a million ways we can be grateful.
If we let go of all the words that have been placed before the actual meaning, we will all agree, we are all trying to connect with the Spirit within us and to share Its meaning.
I received an email today that said someone is trying to take Christ out of Christmas.
It is like taking the Spirit out of you. Is that possible? Can you remove the essence of your soul from you?
Is the Spirit a property to be owned by a select few?
It seems that there are mindsets that believe this, for isn’t that what most fight about.
My way is right, which makes your way wrong.
If we get lost in the way we celebrate, we lose sight of what we are celebrating.
I am not a learned person on all the different traditions, but what I do know is that they are all praising a Higher Power, a Spirit, and a Universe.
Does it matter if what name you call Spirit or what ways you use to connect?
I will look at this December with much different eyes watching how many folks Celebrate.
December is hope, that after the long night of the Soul a Light will appear and that we will find the Gifts in each lesson, how we can use the Spirit as the example of how to give endlessly with love, peace and joy, a reminder to leave room.
Let there be Peace in December.
