[Dialogue] With Love, Hope, Peace and Joy at the Holidays

[Nancy Lanphear]

Dear Margaret,

I received your message with sadness, understanding the fear and struggle
that follows such a diagnosis.  At the same time, I am clear that you are
accepting the siotuat ion as part of your life's journey.  May you continue
to know the healing power that is available to all of us and the support of
our Spirit Community, the Order.


THE FIVE ELEMENTS OF SILENCE by Dolores Kozielski

"If silence was water,
A libation,  I would drink the beginning of creation.

If silence were a tree,  I would grow into the universe
And root myself in eternity.

If silence was fire,  I would flicker a bright light
Lower – higher      Inside, outside of being.

If silence was metal,
I would shape myself – settle into all possibility

If silence was  earth, I would lie down,
blanket the ground and look up at a zillion stars."

On Monday, December 29th, our healing candle will be lit with its light
surrounding your name.  With love and lots of hugs,

Nancy and Fred
