LOVE Came Down at Christmas

I am grateful John and I had a practice run at not being physically with Stacey and her family for Christmas in 2019.

Last year we attended a Christmas Day potluck at Pine Island Cove with Michigan friends, Linda and Fred, who also winter here in Florida.

This year, John and I share our day with all of you in our hearts.


Our hearts are uplifted by the truth: “We isolate this year so that when we can meet again next year no one will be missing.”

Today, our home-away-from-home may be empty of friends and family, but my heart is full of love for each of you!

Our hearts are filled with memories!

Our hearts are warmed by Christmases past.

Our hearts are nourished with the true meaning of Christmas:

    That Mary and Joseph—Mary heavy with child—traveled through the countryside.

    She was at the time of giving birth to the child.

    They found shelter, simple shelter.

    And many beings experiencing, “The light has been born! Ah… The light is back!”

    It wasn’t me, it was more that my birth opened the doorway so that the Heavenly light—the Love, the remembrance of Love—could pour through.

    What was that star? Let us metaphorically call it an opening in the dark heavens where the remembrance of light and Love could pour through—pour through to where I lay as an infant, not to highlight me but to remind humans nothing is hopeless.

    Light IS.

    Love IS.

    And it is right here.

    And it was pointing at me, but it could be pointing at any of you.

    Here is the ground of love and light.

    And the earth sang, “Halleluiah!” not for my birth but for the remembrance: LIGHT IS, LOVE IS.*
