"If us poor slobs can't stick together, then we aint even worth the bullets to blow our brains out."- (My General) Granny

At Christmastime, children play an essential part in our celebrations. So much of what we do is intended to please them--and all the while our hearts keep hearkening back to the Christmas memories of our own childhoods. On Christmas Eve, sometimes we can't help but envy our children the stars in their eyes, especially when our own eyes are dull with exhaustion. Christmas is so much simpler for a child. Can we open our tired, adult eyes to that same simplicity?

Roses are reddish
Violets are bluish
If it weren't for Christmas
We'd all be Jewish.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
- Melody Beattie -

For me, the spirit of Christmas is about
letting the loving but messy little rituals become just as important as the solemn
and graceful ones. It's about making
room for everyone.

May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope;
The spirit of Christmas which is peace;
The heart of Christmas which is love.

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.

Rook · 12-25-2010, 07:41 AM

How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme
How very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother Earth and Father Time

He turns the seasons around
And so she changes her gown
But they always look in their prime
They go on dancing their dance
Of everlasting romance
Mother Earth and Father Time

The summer larks return to sing
Oh, what a gift they give
Then autumn days grow short and cold
Oh, what a joy to live

The autumn days grow short and cold
It's Christmas time again
Then snows of winter slowly melt
The days grows short
And then

He turns the seasons around
And so she changes her gown
Mother Earth and Father Time
How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme

Looking from behind the Mirror
As I walk past the mirror. I stop to take a long look at the image that is looking back at me.
I start to follow the lines of the face that once did not exist. The smile that once laughed years of vocal sounds, looks sadder.
The lips that use to have a multifaceted of expression . Seem to frown down wards.
The forehead that once was flawless, is filled with scars and wrinkles of long past.
The cheeks that once were proud as my ancestry seem hollow and limp.
I stare deeply into these eyes. The eye’s that once had a fierce fire, seems dim.
What has happened to the person in the mirror, that is looking back at me?
Shall I take down the mirror so that I can look from behind the mirror?
Perhaps I will find the once youthful and vibrant being that once lived in the old body.
Or will I see. As I do from the front of the mirror. And old dull coating of silver.
Mine.

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

The truth is "hate speech" only to those who have something to hide.
~Michael Rivero

Duchess · 12-27-2010, 09:19 AM

Live in Joy

Live in Joy, In love,
Even among those who hate.

Live in joy, In health,
Even among the afflicted.

Live in joy, In peace,
Even among the troubled.

Look within. Be still.
Free from fear and attachment,
Know the sweet joy of living in the way.

~

There is no fire like greed,
No crime like hatred,
No sorrow like separation,
No sickness like hunger of heart,
And no joy like the joy of freedom.

Health, contentment and trust
Are your greatest possessions,
And freedom your greatest joy.

Look within. Be still.
Free from fear and attachment,
Know the sweet joy of living in the way.

from the Dhammapada, Words of the Buddha
