Christmas is not a time or season, but a state of mind; and it is captured in opening up your arms and cherishing—with a warm embrace—the spirit of love, peace, and mercy.
Then allowing this inexorable energy to emanate from you, as you direct it out towards your family, friends, and the wider community.
Not forgetting, however, that this energy—the love, peace, and mercy—must first be found and nourished inside of you before it can be allowed to gracefully flow out of you.
Therefore, as you reflect on this year's experiences as you unwind another year—the moments of triumph, the long walks of growth and the nuggets of despair—do so with the spirit of Christmas.
