The Invisible Imperishable Good Stuff & Good Cheer
“In the external scheme of things, shining moments are as brief as the twinkling of an eye, yet such twinklings are what eternity is made of – moments when we human beings can say “I love you,” “I’m proud of you,” “I forgive you,” “I’m grateful for you.” That’s what eternity is made of: invisible imperishable good stuff.”
― Fred Rogers
On this Christmas Day and the first day of Hanukkah, may we all hold in gratitude the moments when life so shines. May we sense the twinklings of eternity that are contained in every expression of love, generosity and kindness. Let us hold with a sense of reverence our place in the invisible imperishable goodness that is around us, within us and between us.
Holiday Blessings of Love, Hope and Good Cheer

Question
No question today, but just an invitation to wish one another a lovely day, a beautiful holiday and hope for the new year.
I’ll start ..”Happy Holidays and All Good Things for the New Year my friends!
Music Always Music….
Yes, may there be peace here and everywhere….and may we co-create that peace each day.
Sending love, gratitude and admiration from the City of Jerusalem… home to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Praying and working for peace and justice!
On this morning under the moon and star glow,
may we all peacefully know how it is that we rest in our fruits deeply.
Like winter’s pulse in cores of trees, may we know both thick and thin waters underneath, as we do in life. Just as the soil and snow insulates, we are inside the thick layers of loving spirit and care giving depths from each other. What I find so stunning is that you would think that in subzero temperatures that nothing would branch outwardly in growth, but even in the frozen and unstable energy of winter, there IS growth, and it happens from a rare and perfect snowflake, where there is branching as it makes itself solid in triangular multiples, in subzero temperatures. Like that perfect snowflake may we branch and make solid the beauty of our commitments to love and to one another, reaching well, through the unstable weather of our life tests. May we find the malleable somehow in the solid, like the tree does with light and water through its outmost frozen and cracked bark. May we find what reveals more than the properties of winter matter, when we find strength of character and spirit within.
And beauty in it all…
I thought this quote that I recently came across feels so fitting to go with that wonderful photo. It by Henry David Thoreau: "How full of the creative genius is the air in which these are generated! I should hardly admire more if real stars fell and lodged on my coat."
Happy Holidays everyone.
