For The Weekend



homeless
born on straw in a stable
a poor little mite
changed the world
2000 years ago
with an almighty dose of
enlightenment
compassion
humility and love

the christmas story
tugs at heart strings every year
all over the world



the nativity
all part of the grand design
to save each and everyone of us



May joy rule your lives and may this blog provide a little respite in the often relentless, sometimes dark journey through life. Happy Christmas to all. A special thank you and best wishes to my visitors throughout the year.

    Rail, what a beautiful poem, post. Thank you. I feel honored to know you and be someone with whom I exchange thoughts. May you have a wonderful, merry Christmas.
    (on my blog I mentioned a singing bowl. I may have used the wrong name. It may be better known as just a Tibetan bowl. Once tapped, it makes a beautiful chime, a heavenly sound most conducive to initiating meditation.)
