Quote of the day:
"Peace isn't an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth, it's an experience that's expansive enough to include all that arises without feeling threatened" (2009, page 87). Pema Chodron
Tree goes up.
Creates light and warmth,
good will, and a festive spirit.
Gifts amass underneath developing
into a crescendo of intensity and expectation.
Tree comes down.
Creates space, breathing room,
re-entry into the ordinary, airy,
mundane.
The old and familiar
somehow looks renewed and refueled
- ready - for the new Year.
Sun streams through the window
on a cold, bright winter's day.
2010 is almost here.
A year ago on Mining Nuggets: Happy New Year.
