A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles. In this year’s Heart to Heart calendar, it is my own calligraphy gracing my kitchen this November, and for that, first of all, I am grateful. As is so often the case with gratitude, there is a trace of bittersweetness in the feeling . . .
This talisman on my hearth will remind me to let fear guard me, but not rule me, and when I feel fear, let it be tempered with love so that I make the right decision.
How could we “gather” if we could not all be in the same place, holding hands while we danced the Lord of the Dance and hearing one another sing?
This particular chant is one that often comes to me when I am feeling quiet and introspective, which is how I want to feel at the winter solstice.
