Decembers Days
Making peace with our earth, our world of humanity and ourselves
A friend who is in Assisi for Christmas sent this photo. A reconstruction of the simple story of The Nativity. In the darkness of the shortest day of the year when we wait . . . .in the dark . . . the new light
rises and begins its return. ‘And the Light shall overcome. That is our Hope that the Light shall overcome. Nature shows us over and over that life conquers death . And so we believe. On the shortest day and the longest night may this blessing make its way into our hearts. However that being said we are here in Australia so we have to turn it all around and find another story of symbolism.
OUR SUMMER SOLSTICE
We have always had to imagine the deep dark cold of Christmas night here in the Southern Hemisphere.
Our Kind of Peace
One kind of peace is a state of life that is free from chaos and turbu- lence, from violence and institutionally le- gitimated death. That kind of peace happens often enough in histo- ry to show us that such a thing is possi- ble. But don’t be fooled: that kind of peace can be achieved as easily through force as well as through jus- tice. In that case, little is gained by it.
But there is another kind of peace. This kind of peace does not come either from the denial of evil or the ac- ceptance of oppression. This kind comes from the cen- ter of us and flows through us like a conduit to the world around us.
