Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays! – Whatever floats your boat. – Mine just happens to sail best on “MERRY CHRISTMAS” and these sincere wishes to all of you:

May your days be merry and bright!

May you know peace and joy in every square inch of your infinite heart and soul!

May you know good health, prosperity and restful contentment and acceptance with your state of mortal existence in a physical body and its surrounding finite world.

May you continue to experience growth in your wisdom that life is not about getting rich at any cost, but about passionate giving of yourself to life in whatever good ways beckon to your own open channels to the call.

May you also grow in your understanding that Love is always with you on this trip – and that you take it into you with every breath of sweet air you inhale.

May you always find comfort in the knowledge that we raise our children to let them go. It is not our job to find a future for our children that will make us feel comfortable with our accomplishment as parents. It is rather our job to do what we can to lay a foundation for their own search for self and personal growth. We can only act as “Indiana Jones” or “Nelson Mandela” in our own behalf. Our kids must do that job for themselves, using their own role models and metaphors as everyday guides.

May we always come to understand the spiritual gold that is hoping to force itself upon us from everything we experience in life as “defeat, disappointment, betrayal, failure, anxiety, depression, jealousy, envy, laziness, regret, angry reprisal (incoming and outgoing), vengeance, revenge, perfectionism, pride, the relentless need to please others, or any other emotional stress that causes us pain.” By any name, pain is always trying serve us up the lesson of our experience. When we learn the lesson, we get to move on as healthier, more freedom-bound souls. When we fail to see or get the lesson, the penalty is that we get to see it again in some form – until we finally get it – or we go broke, go crazy, or die from our prideful aversion to the truth about our own responsibility for setting in motion patterns of behavior that are bad for us over time.

Finally, may we all come to keep in mind that now is the only time we have – and that the present is the only true moment for love and life. We neither love nor breathe, yesterday or tomorrow. We love and breathe now – in the present – or we do not love and breathe at all. – Is “today” enough of life for any of us? – It had better be. – It is all we have.

We cannot capture what is yet to be with our promises. We cannot regain what might have been with our regrets. If its do-able, we must either do it now, from one tick of the present to the next, or else, turn it over to the part of our ego-dominated mind that will take our procrastination in and convert it, one more time, into a regret about the past and a promise about the future.

Don’t do anything, for money or service, that your heart is not into all the way.

If something’s not good for you, find a way to let it go. Then let it be. And enjoy your life. With every breath you take.

Merry Christmas with Love,

The Pecan Park Eagle
