Sometimes, The Universe Smiles
Dec. 9th, 2011 10:04 amThe Universe has taken my chin in her hands, tilted it up to look me squarely in the eye, then let go and bopped my hat down so it hangs rakishly over one eye. Just precisely when stuff's going on that could have me feeling down in the dumps, Life's smiling on me and I find myself smiling back (wavering 'tween a small Mona Lisa-esque mysterious smile and a full-on giddy grin). *insert big-font bold shadow outline sparkly squee here*
Life is good. I am well pleased.

'Tis the Season
Dec. 9th, 2011 10:28 amIt's prolly too far for me to go, what w/impending fambily descending on the Hive for the holidays, but the Candlelight Labyrinth on Tuesday, 20 December 2011 (7-9pm) at Woodinville, WA's Unitarian Universalist Church sounds like a great time and place to spend an evening in quiet, candlelit meditation walking the labyrinth.
In addition, the Winter Solstice is 22 Dec 2011 at 5:30am. That's way early. Let's get a head start at 6pm on Wed, 21 December 2012! For the past several years now, some of us have followed the tradition of singing "Here Come the Sun" to mark the Winter Solstice and encourage the sun to return. Well, for the past several years (since 2007), we've done this as a community sing-a-long - and every year the days get longer once again afterward (at least for 6 months, which appears to be the staying power of the ritual ;-) It doesn't matter where you are - solo or w/a group - join in and welcome back the sun via this SING-A-LONG! Here's video of the song w/lyrics. If'n you don't have/want access to a computer then, here're just the lyrics for printing ahead of time.
