Find Joy in the Journey to Christmas

Reflecting on the Beauty of the Season

The holiday season is here—a time of joy, reflection, and wonder. As Christmas draws near, I encourage you to immerse yourself in the joy of the season—embracing its magic not just on the day, but in every moment along the way. Like the song of a chickadee in the crisp morning or the tranquil beauty of snow-covered pines, there is magic to be found in each moment leading up to the holiday.

Art has taught me to notice these fleeting treasures, to see the brilliance in the ordinary and celebrate the spirit all around us. This season, may we all take time to marvel at the small joys—a kind gesture, the warmth of glowing lights, or the stillness of nature. Allow these moments to fill your heart and soul as we move toward Christmas Day together.

Here’s to savoring the beauty of now. 🎄

Independent Thought

Everyday, do you work towards independent thought?  I sure do.

Morning Star

morning star rises

how few see the 

enchanted woods

where sun, water

air and earth are

and where truth, love

morality, beauty

come together in

nature

and where something

delightful

and creative

emerges

Choosing

when you choose

right or wrong,

yes or no

good or bad

when you choose

remember

one does not have

enough power

to deny

the other

one does not

exist without

the “other.”
