Jaala Jensen Stewart: We are alive today because our ancestors felt the chill in the air and knew winter was coming.
We are alive today because our ancestors had no choice but to cooperate and prepare together for a chance at survival.
We are alive today because our ancestors built together, sang together, birthed together, and protected each other.
We are not different from them.
When we feel the chill in the air we want to embrace.
When we know some will be cold, we want to warm them.
When we know some have less, we invite them to stay.
We provide. We protect. We share.
We harvest. We give.
We commune with the dead.
Those ancestors who are us as the veil is lifted just before the harvest.
There is deep meaning in this time.
This is the real reason time seems to slow and the sight of falling leaves is holy.
We are aware in our very bones exactly how we made it this far together.
We feel a sense of relief.
Of community.
Of purpose.
And if we can just make it to the solstice...we will have made it through the darkest and most dangerous part of the year.
As we celebrate the return of the sun and its warmth, leading us toward a new spring... the strength and success of the community is absolutely reason for triumphant celebration.
Goodwill toward men.
Tidings of comfort and joy.
TIS the season to be jolly.
The collective knows...even if sometimes it's disguised as pumpkin spice, consumerism, and religion.
The magic and wonder
The anticipation
The reverence
It is sacred.
That feeling...
It's much more than holiday spirit.
Much more important than Santa.
We would die without each other.
How wonderful it is that we've made it this far.
J. Stewart

tiny journal: Here's a timely one to revisit: SARK: "I am fascinated by the subject of receiving. Most people aren’t very good at it...." How about you? Write about how you feel about receiving. Receiving vs giving?

“Those killed are at the epicentre, but the shockwaves spread ever wider, reaching those who weep on distant shores at the other side of the globe.”

In 2018, Johnny Depp came crashing down to Earth. He had spent much of the $650m he had earned and was suing his business manager for fraud. This followed accusations of physical abuse levelled by his ex-wife Amber Heard – and always denied by Depp – and his subsequent defenestration from the Pi...

tiny journal: Marcus Aurelius: "Most of what we say and do is not essential. If you can eliminate it, you will have more time, and more tranquility." Here's an interesting premise to consider, especially at this time of year. What do you think? What is essential??
