The Christmas season is often noisy, manic, and chaotically busy. But underneath and behind all this, there is the most exquisite approach of a sacred mood, a gentle and tender silence, a slow and infinitely kind opening of the receptive, loving heart. This audio recording placed in video format moves through the experience of the chaotic and noisy rush that keeps us on the surface, caught up in the passing and casual, and slowly deepens into the beautiful soul depths of receptivity and attunement in which we begin discerning the healing hopefulness of new life and soul development in the darkest moment of the year. In these times, in the darkest moments of our lives, we can let our hearts open and be filled with consoling, encouraging, and inspiring mood, a real sense of being accompanied and a real feeling that we are not alone. Won't you join me a moment in moving past the circus din of the holidays and into the soulfulness of Christmas that begins to enter our psyches like the beautiful Christmas lights that twinkle all around us on cool winter evenings? I'll heat up the eggnog, or, if you prefer, a hot chocolate and we'll sit a spell by the crackling fire already burning here in our hearts' fireplace!
