Loving Aspirations

February 3, 2017 By Cynthia

It’s the “month of love” again.  As always, I’m deeply grateful for my loving partner of multiple decades, loving parents who live on in my heart, and so many loving friends and business relationships.  This year I’m looking beyond personal relationships at the bigger picture.  Yep, I’m thinking really BIG! Here goes: I aspire to love each moment.  (That requires actually being here, now.  Not easy.)   I aspire to love everyone.  (This would mean seeking out the highest part of each person or group which is often hidden from sight.  Tricky.)   I aspire to love all that’s tangible.  (Knowing that everything can be used in the unfolding of good despite appearance takes constant mental effort. Super challenging.)   I aspire to love all the intangible.  (Clearly there is more going on here than meets the eye.  Open mind required.)  Lofty aspirations no doubt.  Definitely a lifetime pursuit for my little human self.  Worth the effort?  Well, I truly believe Love is the answer…

Cynthia’s Notes

2020 Christmas

‘Twas three weeks before Christmas and all through our house, not a person was stirring, but me and my spouse. Two stockings were hung by the chimney with care; Too bad no one would be there to share.  Ev’ry night we rested all snug in our bed, while visions of vaccines danced in our heads.  Each morning we arose to shelter in place, glad that our home was a warm, comfy space.  Glittery garland, lights twink’ling on the tree, we nestled on our cozy couch for Christmas movies on TV.  Gifts ordered on line, season’s to-do list quickly done, there was a whole lot less work and much, much more fun.  It left plenty of time for Christmas love, peace, and light; The deep understanding that ev’rything will be alright.
