celebrating self or others
Starlight, star bright, every star I see tonight. I wish I may. I wish I might. Celebrate your birth tonight! We live in a marvelous, miraculous, mysterious place and its creation is worth celebrating. The worlds religions (ancient, modern and most probably in the future) create a set of cohesive reasons of the the cause, nature,…
Beyond the songs, the shopping and the spiritual rituals there are as many different meanings to Christmas as there are those of us doing the interpreting. I have met many people who are Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, Bhuddists and others who all celebrate this holiday in Canada. If ever the claim could have been made…
