Merlin's Musings

Huh, isn't it funny....I spoke earlier of finding Christmas inside myself.... I'm finding I'm not doing anything different than I've always done. And it's working. The only thing that's changed seems to be my attitude. So i'm having a good laugh with myself and God.

All around me there's healing happening. Standing back watching those I love begin to mend the rifts of the past with ammends offered fearlessly and honestly not just in words but in actions. Family being reunited...and the ember of Hope being fanned. Acts of love and kindness. I think things like that have been happening all along but in my fear and anxiety to prove something to myself and others I've been too blinded to see it. Nothing's different except me.

There's a story told about some shepherds watching their flocks (much like I tend to try and watch over those I love) and they looked up and saw a star...and they followed it..and they found a miracle. Maybe, just maybe, it's meant to be more than just a story for me this year. Maybe it's reminding me to Look up from my concerns and look around and see the miracles happening everyday and know I'm not alone. Stepping out of self serving concerns to just watch in wonder for abit.

peace.....
