Arrival -

It is the first Sunday of Advent, and Advent means Arrival.   Arrival.   I feel myself arriving and arrived.  I am thrilled today.

Yesterday was a warm and fulfilling day.  I explored and experimented with nine other people.  I fulfilled my curiosity and had a good time.  We shared an evening meal at a long table looking out from Marin over to the East Bay.   

Today, Steve and I left early for an Open House Brunch, which was at a home of people who love Christmas so much that absolutely every surface is covered with Christmas.  It is enchanting to walk into such a place.

I came home and felt motivated to begin some decorating of my own.   Then, the phone rang and my neighbor had an extra ticket for a holiday concert.  It was lovely, and ended with each of us holding our lit candle and singing Christmas carols.  The music was beautiful, and I feel well-planted in holiday mood and mode.  Now, it is time to continue decorating.  

May the holiday spirit shine in you,  like the moon as it is tonight.

Joy and Peace!!
