After the Epiphany...

When the song of the angels is stilled
When the star in the sky is gone
When the kings and princes are home
When the shepherds are back with their flock
The work of Christmas begins:

                                                      To find the lost
                                                      To heal the broken
                                                      To feed the hungry
                                                      To release the prisoner
                                                      To rebuild the nations
                                                      To bring peace among people
                                                      To make music in the heart.

                                                           ~ Howard Thurman

Christmas Eve

Social Band!

Today we're off to hear Social Band's holiday concert.  Two of our friends are in the all-voice group.  Mark is in the back row, 4th from left, wearing a bright blue shirt.  Robin is in the back row, 5th from right, also in blue. They are near-professional in quality and so creative in their presentation. :-)

Ordination

Today, a woman I was spiritual guide for, for many years, is being ordained an Episcopal priest.

This photo is from her ordination as a deacon which took place last Summer.  As you can see, the Bishop laid his hands on her head at the moment of consecration.  Her priesting will take place in this very same spot.  However, today the Bishop will be joined by a "great cloud" of priests also laying on hands at the moment of consecration.  As you can imagine, there's some serious kundalini energy that takes place at an ordination!  

SOLSTICE occurs at 11:12am UTC (6:12am EST)

So, the purported end of the world is to take place at 6:12am my time.  I fully expect to be asleep. ;-)

All Ready for Gifting?

...or are you banking on the End of the World being tomorrow?
