2011/ 2012 and Letting Go

A dear friend and administrator at the school where I work is preparing a holiday breakfast for all of us: waffles, an egg dish that he soaked over night, then stuck in the oven at five in the morning, ham and numerous chocolate covered items. At the same time we are all collecting soap, toothpaste, and brushes, basic living items for several families of students there in the direst of situations; they are two steps away from losing their homes. And then there's this constant background chatter about 2012 - that we are on the brink of a world wide shift in consciousness and economic (the Euro is on the brink of collapse?)disaster. So it looks like we've got lots going on - holiday celebrations, survival issues, and a huge shift in how we perceive one another.

The thing to do is let go, abolish fear and let what is true, the truth of what's happening take care of itself. So into the holidays we go, with a large beat of "thank you" for the feasts, a sense of awareness of what's going on with our brothers and sisters everywhere (because it's time to expand our definition of family,) and an acquiescence that we, as in the small, willful individual, are not the ones in control.

I'm headed out of town for a couple weeks. Blessings to all. See you in 2011.
