Good evening dear friends –
Already we are only three weeks from the time of increasing light! We have an opportunity to use these three weeks wisely. We can continue our exploration of “volition” – the nutriment of intention that leads us to manifest our deepest desire.
We can ask ourselves: How have we experienced both the possibilities and the challenges that arise when we realize how we want to move forward along our path?
For many of us, this is a busy time of year. What better time to breathe in and breathe out, discover some stillness, and offer ourselves the gift of a more authentic, more nourishing direction forward. What is most important for ourselves, our families, our communities and our society? We can walk the path of unnecessary consumption or we can experience the joy of true – rather than material – generosity.
For December, we will begin this Sunday evening with a recitation of the 14 Mindfulness Trainings of the Order of Interbeing. On December 12 we will continue with our study of volition/intention/deepest desire and on December 19 we explore the practice of Beginning Anew – with ourselves, our loved ones, the world.
There will be no Sangha gathering on December 26. On January 2nd we will enjoy the full Ceremony for the Recitation of the Five Mindfulness Trainings.
May all beings be well.
