i’m trusting today has been a day of taking joy for you just as it’s been for me on yet another feast day celebrating the light, a magical moment of eternity when the portal is wide open for our re-membering who we are… radiant suns and receptive moons of our one cosmic heart…

on these upcoming twelve nights of the 12 Days of Christmas, i invite you to join me once again for our annual special pilgrimage, the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing, honoring our transcendent/descendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the next 12 nights to the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas…

on the first night of Christmas, my true love (Aries) gave to me, a dream of…  on the second night of Christmas, my true love (Taurus) gave to me, a dream of…  on the third night of Christmas, my true love (Gemini) gave to me, a dream of…   on the fourth night of Christmas, my true love (Cancer) gave to me, a dream of…

so, you get the idea? each night our dream will be a gift from the sun signs, the light, guiding us, mapping the route along the rainbow trail as we re-member and re-birth more and more of whom we really and truly are…

i take joy with you as we adventure into dreamtime, re-joy-sing in this oft-quoted salutation from the Italian painter and architect Fra Giovanni (Angelico) in 1513…

“I salute you.

There is nothing I can give you which you have not,
but there is much that while I cannot give,
you can take.

No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today.
Take heaven.

No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant.
Take peace.

The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy.
Take joy.

And so at this Christmastime,
I greet you, with the prayer
that for you,
now and forever,
the day breaks
and the shadows
flee away.”
