I want to wish each of you a happy holiday season.
Regardless of spiritual tradition, this season is all about light. The solstice is about the day getting longer and more light. Christians celebrate the coming of the light of the world. Hanukah is about light. Kwanzaa is about light. Chalcia is about light. Wicca and the yule log is about light.
Perhaps rather than bicker over "the reason for the season", we should focus on what we have in common... which is the celebration of light. Light from the sun warms us and provides illumination. All plant life requires light as part of its processing for growth. Illumination make traversing the planet possible. The light is life. As we celebrate with one another, let's also celebrate and be thankful for the light.
Let's also resolve in the coming year to seek to understand others and focus more on what we have in common, than what divides us. The world will be a kinder and brighter place if we persevere in this endeavor.
