I struggle daily with the knowing + the holding of so much heaviness while also having the desire for light + love to reign in my mind. This morning, however, Christmas morning...I felt free to embrace the beauty in front of me completely. I felt free to let the heaviness of climate change recede as I stepped out into the foggy air, free to appreciate the soft, fragrant leaves, free to smile at the clatter of squirrels on the fence, free to feel the anticipation of time spent with my girls + my partner. Surely Christmas is a day to be present with the beauty in front of me...with a prayer for peace + love + beauty for all others too.
Wishing you light + love + beauty in your moments at this time of year + always,
Jane
