Season’s Greetings Friends
A cold day in New York City, winding down.
Always my favorite time of year is just this time. The city light’s never prettier, with all the holiday hoo-haw. And the snow from the past day or so has left a sweet, chilly blanket of white across this city that never sleeps.
So if you’re getting ready for the last few days before you pack it in and pack it home for a holiday break – here’s to time to rest, renew and revive. We need it.
I was writing to my friend Maggie today about the choices we make that so terrificly color our path. Many years ago, I made a choice that lead to help that became the color today – shades of laughter and love and light. Another choice would have kept me in the dark. Because more than any other truth I have learned this: LIGHT OR DARK OCCUPY ONE SPACE. One replaces the other.
The one I had been seeking to save me ultimately, was me. Others helped me come to that understanding, and now it starts and stops with me more or less.
My own 2008 was one unlike any other. I married. I sold my first book. My practice flourished in many rich ways. Here’s to this New Year 2009, and our choices that will make it full of light.
