December Full Moon Greetings

Did you see the eclipse this morning? What meaning do you make of it in your life?

Imagine how our distant ancestors must have experienced a full lunar eclipse. The moon, slowing darkening, until it's extinguished from the sky! But then, ah, it is restored again. A miracle!

Miracles are the hallmark of the winter season's religious holidays. Pagans celebrate the miracle of the sun's return on Solstice. On Hanukkah, Jews celebrate the miracle of long-lasting light that occurred during the re-consecration of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Christians celebrate the miracle of Mary's virgin birth to Christ on Christmas.

Today -- to honor the full moon, the energy of the eclipse and our season of miracles -- light a candle and tell the story of some miracle from your own life. Your miracle could be huge and life-altering. Or it could be simple and small -- easily missed.

Call a friend on the phone and tell your miracle tale, or write it down in your journal.

When you tune your consciousness to the presence of miracles, you polish the treasure of faith. Life itself becomes a miraculous event.

Here's to celebrating the gifts, the magic, and the miracles of the season!
