Christmas greetings friends!
As we wend our way through Christmas 2007, this year, we find the meaning of Christmas in the image of "birthing." Christmas, for us, represents birth! It reminds us that, for good or for ill, everyone gives birth; birth to ideas, relationships, feelings, and actions.
Christmas provokes! She demands the birth of all things good! When tempted to succumb to life's challenges, Christmas rattles our bones! We give thanks for her insistent return and call. She animates. She tells us again and again of individual and collective possibility.
This year, Christmas wraps herself in beauty and sadness, hope and anxiety. Amidst her entourage of caring ones, both family and friends, she brings the wonder (!) of "awe" and the wonder (?) of "how" we will wend our way. In all things, Christmas brings assurance. We welcome her and give thanks for her presence in our lives and world.
Wishing each of you a provocative Christmas; one that issues forth in a multitude of wonderful births!
With love, Diane and Shelley
