In the Dark Days of Winter Prepare for the Light ...

in the dark days of winter let us contemplate
our place in the universe. 
in the quiet of a winter’s night
peer deep into the darkness until you can see the web that connects us all.
silently allow yourself to look within
let the thoughts of fear, anxiety, anticipation and concern
pass on by, let them go... you don’t need them..
wait, what is that light?  like a gossamer web of light it surrounds you
some of the strands, light, bright, pulsing connect to you and then move off into infinity
surrounding you, some close some far, other lights, all connected,
all attached to the great strands of life that connect everything
Listen now... do you hear it... the music of the spheres
angels singing, life breathing, God breathing, in and out...
the harmony of the heart, your heart, the earth’s heart, the heart of God
See that light off in the distance, the outlines of a city
appearing covered by the great gossamer web of life is the new earth
healed, green, her great wounds gone
When summer comes remember this great vision
tell your children, teach them how to see this vision
so they have hope
and can prepare for the great light of summer...

A Dark Night on Planet Earth...

It's a dark night on planet earth

But it's right before dawn

There's a new light on planet earth

It is the rising sun

Oh it's a dark night

But there is a new light

Can you see it coming

Coming on Planet Earth

So face the rising sun

Greet the morning dawn

For there is a new light coming

Dawning on Planet Earth

It really is that simple...

Can you believe that we actually choose to come here, this planet of darkness and bright and beautiful light.  Planet earth, planet of polarity, light and dark, good and evil, love and fear, pain and joy.   We not only choose to come here but we keep coming back.   These ideas alone are worth the thought of trying to make ours, and others, stays here as pleasant as possible.   And yet human history is wrought with war and sorrow punctuated by moments of joy and beauty.  We are not beings stranded on a prison rock floating in space.  Again, don't you think that alone is worth the idea of trying our best to make our stay as pleasant as possible.  We chose to come here and we have choices here and now.  And yes, it really is that simple.
