"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." - Rumi

This holiday season I've been feeling a little exposed, silly, and off-kilter... much like the first impression of this wee Christmas tree. To my chagrin, I'd started to simmer in the pressure of holiday expectations - drat. I revisited the sweet shrub, and it was a Christmas miracle! My head and heart softened with the absurdity of it all. I began to wonder about all the people who had lovingly decorated and viewed it (who put on the teeth?!). In turn, I was reminded of my own community who celebrate and decorate life with me - a true gift of brilliant folks who turn the mundane into magic. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
