The air is crisp and fresh, the kind that makes ones cheeks tingle and turn rosy, the kind that sharpens ones senses to joy and delight, the kind that masks any sibilance of unpleasantries. I walk through the forest of trees close enough to the branches to catch a whiff of Christmas. Every few feet I stop and inhale deeply the spicy pine and cedar scent...I waltz among them…"evergreens, forever green, always green, and unchanging..." trails across my mind.
I step out into the open, the air is tinged with the holiday spirit as I tilt my head back and take in the awe and wonder of the inky velvet sky. As the heavens are just turning on their nightly display of holiday lights pin pricks of light dot the universe above, a design that far outshines any beauty recreated here on earth.
The sign of Christmas is a Star, a light in darkness. As we celebrate the beauty of this holiday season, see it not outside yourself but shining in the Heaven within.
Shine on this holiday season and may you be surrounded by peace, love and good cheer.
Love and Kindness, Tammy
