Here it comes....in America we go from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Years, and in our house finish with Orthodox Christmas. It's a long season of eating!
Every year the news magazines and print media and our own repeated history tell us how to put limits on the celebration so there won't be any damage.
But this is my brief question for today..........
What if I sank deeply into feasting and celebrating and rejoicing and giving thanks and buried myself in creating rich and wonderful memories of celebration?
What if I put no limits on visiting with friends and spreading the love with relatives and just had a blast for ten whole weeks? What's so wrong with feasting? What's so wrong with celebrating?
Would it energize my New Year? Would the highs and lows of other people's stories that so impact my life be more easily ridden in the middle in the year 2014 if I took the time and made the effort to say, "hey! Life is a grand delight! " at the beginning of winter?
Maybe a way to better my life is to embrace the depths of each season more fully. Maybe I need to surrender to the rhythm of nature and the ways of the sun's rotation and eat fats during winter, vegetables during Spring and Summer and Fruits from June to October.
The lack we feel inside and then fill in ways that seem unfufilling may happen because we do not sink deeply into each season with gusto and limitless participation.
Just for fun, I'm going to try it!
Love,
Deborah
