A Magical Christmas Sky


There is something very special that happens in the Christmas sky.  The heavens appear deeper, bluer, and even the stars seem to glitter with electricity and energy.  The sky is alive and set apart from earthly activity--reflecting so much that we know in our hearts.  But doubt and pain would steal this tranquil vision if we were to allow it.  To stand and look into a Christmas sky tells us something about a Power far beyond our most vivid imagination.  It removes us from competition, takes us out of pettiness and drains away the bitterness.  Listen, this is no common phenomenon, this is all life, this is all peace, this is joy unspeakable!

--But if the vision was true and mighty, it is true and mighty yet. --BLACK ELK--LAKOTA--
From "A Cherokee Feast of Days, Vol II"

Hoping everyone is having a wonderful day.  May the magic of the Christmas Sky touch upon your heart and soul.  Blessings to all.

  3. Love the Wisdom of Native Americans... Which has come down to us...

    "It removes us from competition, takes us out of pettiness and drains away the bitterness."

    And love these feelings... What a line, "to live by."
