And now -- here's what I've been thinking about....

AS PURE AS CHRISTMAS.  Most of us have had some experience with the concept of crucifixion, with betrayal and pain.  We have our own wounds and then too we have to observe the wounds of our loved ones.   Easter gives us an opening into resurrection and it is good to know there is life after death, the large death and the small deaths as well.  But Christmas gives us an occasion to go back to the blessed time when there was only holiness.   Here is a poem I wrote years ago for my daughter Emily. Today it is an invitation for all of us to become children again.
 
CHRIST CHILDREN 

Let us make you a child again for Christmas.

Let us put you in the cradle

As we put Jesus in the manger

Pre-crucifixion and sweet

With just-born eyes that meet

The wonder of star and smile.

For a little while

Let us make you children again.

Here there are no nails in your innocence.

Here there is over you a sky bursting bright

And under you the breast of a mother

Softer than hay.

You will not stay, I know,

And Jesus will have to go to Golgotha:

His little hands were born to bear a cross.

And you, my darling,

Came to the same sad world

Where trust is lost

At the hands of those who

Know not what they do.                                        

At the end of the story

The Christ will rise
And so will you.

But let us make you

Children again for Christmas

(The Christ children that you are)

Touched only by swaddling

And the light of a star.

                                    Beginnings and Beyond

A FREE PODCAST SERIES I'M LOVING. 

Dozen's of the world's leading thinkers, entrepreneurs, and change-makers share their insights on how we can help during this time of great planetary transition.  I'm loving doing my morning stretching and Pilates while I listen to the likes of Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Jean Houston and Barbara Marx Hubbard.  The interviews are available whenever you want to access them.  http://worldwidetippingpoint.com/

COULD YOU USE A TELEPHONE CONSULTATION WITH CAROL LYNN?  Are there issues or challenges in your life that might be lightened with a conversation with someone who has been there? -- or who just likes to philosophize?  "I have been following up with all the priceless information you gave me.  Thanks so much for your encouragement.  Our conversation was a blessing."  -- L.  http://www.clpearson.com/consultations.htm.

FREE COPY OF A STRANGER FOR CHRISTMAS (Yes! -- my favorite and most loved Christmas story, list price $14.99) with orders of $30 or more from the large selection of books at my website through December 12^th.  http://www.clpearson.com/personal_gifts.htm.  Christmas books -- poetry -- inspiration. 

And don't forget the major sale on The Lesson and other gift books detailed above.

My tree is up.  I'm listening to "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow," from the Osmond's Christmas Album (signed to me decades ago by the whole gang).  And Harry Belafonte singing "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

"A good conscience is a continual Christmas."  ~ Benjamin Franklin

May your own Christmas season be a warm one, filled with peace and hope.

Love and blessings from your friend,
