The Divine—ever-present, ever-giving,
ever-loving—is unendingly, ubiquitously available. Vast, mysterious, unending,
it is yet warm and personal and responsive. It shows Itself in the
interconnectedness between all things, seen and unseen. The limitless web of
Life connects and embraces all the infinitely various parts of Itself, casting
off into reality unlimited creative expressions of Itself and receiving back
into its web of life that which is ready to be repurposed.
My life is in the web, joined
everywhere: to people in my family, my neighborhood, my relatives, my spiritual
community, my sphere of influence. The joy of the Divine radiates from me,
reveling in this infinite community to which I belong. Community—the web of
life visible and invisible. It embraces me and gifts me with warm, creative,
joyous connections that enlighten and enliven me in this dark, fallow time of
year.
I celebrate this life, this communal
connection, this dark and restorative time in the cycle of the year. And in
that celebration, I align with the Divine and Its unlimited adoration of
Itself.
I say it is so.
And so it is.
