A Daily Refreshment
Half an hour's meditation is essential except when you are very
busy. Then, a full hour is needed. --Francis de Sales

most when you want to do it the least. It is a practice...

Spirituality and Success: Bridging the Gap

The Joan of Arc Complex
Sometimes I think that I have a mental health problem and that at any minute the pharmaceutical companies are going to develop a cute little green star-shaped pill to cure me of my ailment. I call it my Joan of Arc Complex. You see, I hear...
The Loneliness of Personal Growth
The cream rises to the top. That means that it separates itself from the milk. Perhaps that is what the New Age Movement is really all about. We tell ourselves that it's lonely at the top. Yes, it is. Maybe we have to figure out how to...

Alone At Christmas
Amid the frenzy of Christmas preparations, from shopping to decorating to baking to wrapping gifts and other activities that’s part of the season’s spirit, there are many that are oblivious to Christmas.
They may have been part of the crowd at one time, but that was a long time ago. Today, Christmas day is just another day.
Times change. So do circumstances. Some families grow together, but the time comes when the next generation has to move on. Distance, mobility and health can hinder the cohesiveness of family and friends. Add to this animosity and differences.
Families become strangers to one another, especially when discord or separation happens. Christmas heightens the feelings of desolation.
Grief becomes a dark veil of loneliness at this time. There is one less hug for a lovely gift, one less smile on a face, an empty chair on the table.
In every city, in every community, there are those who have long forgotten the joy of sharing Christmas dinner with family or friends. The Christmas songs have been silenced in their hearts. There are no presents to give, none to receive.
A lonely lamp sits sadly at the corner where a Christmas tree once
stood glittering brightly with colored lights, adorned with tinsels and trinkets with wrapped presents under and around it. The sound of silence pervades the air on Christmas Eve. The room awakens to the winter chill of Christmas morning.
Some make an effort to relive the past cheers of the season. The reality is, there is no substitute for the warmth of laughter and cheers on Christmas day shared with loved ones.
Despite an effort to bring on some cheer,there’s that feeling of emptiness. Watching the frenzy of the season on television brings a tear or two.
There are those who are alone at Christmas. For you, I send light and love this Christmas Day.
