Frosty breath amid evergreen boughs dumping snow at intermittent intervals. Birds searching and scavenging the last berries. Small animals chitter. The soul-permeating sound dampened quietude that draws us outward. Smokey plumes rising from the campfire tickles our nose. We sit in an insulated wintry kingdom. The fire draws us near. Our thoughts meander through our internal landscape, echoing outward into the pristine undeveloped woodland around us. God’s strong presence soothes us like a whisper. The promise of a night spent softly nestled in Mother Earth’s embrace coccooned upon an insulated pillow of snow, warmed by our light within.

Our world right now can be likened to an austere environment from which we must find the inner light that produces the lens with which we view our outer world. With so much structure of our outer world crumbling away, what is strongly needed is our ability to create that which we DO want in it’s place, and that conception starts with what we desire in our hearts, and it comes into our world through our imagination.

It is the first day of December. The month that marks the transformation from dark to light. That means things will feel differently, as if we’ve been transported to a new land with new experiences. Our job is to anchor them in to our landscape, our life our world. It may feel a bit strange and awkward at first, but, let’s let our imagination take the lead for a bit…

Because of the Light, what if our world transformed into a landscape of intense beauty.

Because of the Light, what if our priorities changed and our compassion ruled the day.

Because of the Light, what if we ALL worked to make sure no being was living in lack, ever again.

Because of the Light, what if our DNA switched on new gifts that made this work simple.

Becuase of the Light, what if we remembered who we are and why we are here.

Because of the Light, what if we had the tremendous urge to inspire eachother to greatness.

Perhaps that is what the gift of rising with the Light is bringing us.
