"Santa Claus is anyone who loves another and seeks to make them happy; who gives himself by thought or word or deed in every gift that he bestows." ~ Edwin Osgood Grover

Be a Santa

"When people do things that are not loving, it means they have lost contact with their true nature." ~ Marianne Williamson

This is a very powerful statement, because so often when people do hurtful things we only focus on how they have hurt ourselves, or others, and not on the fact that they too must be hurting to have even caused harm to another.

The person who has done the most horrible thing is lost, and has no idea or awareness of their own divinity.

"So, let me get this straight. There are 20+ people on this camp. They knew there was going to be a midnight ritual, and only you, me, and my girlfriend brought torches?!"

Me talking to the leader of a Pagan camp when my now wife went on her first Pagan night ritual.

Light comes, not from above, but from within. ~ Brian Froud

I love this quote so much, because so often people forget that they are a divine being in a body. We were not created to be separate from our Source - we ARE Source - we ARE that light.

And, how often I forget this

Light comes, not from above, but from within.

Where within? Me within.

Ya Chel, I forget that too

“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.”
― Helen Keller

This reminds me (sort of) of the story of Quan Yin - she chose not to go to Nirvana while there was one person left on our planet that was suffering.

It's seems to me that we all go together

“Love is a synonym for God; and God is love, the universal outpouring of the Spirit through law, wisdom, life, and action. God knows us in love; we know God only through love. When we love humanity we are loving God, in and through others.” ~ Ernest Holmes

The term "God" can actually be very limiting for some people, because so many people see it as a force "out there" somewhere. This is why I LOVE the term "Love" or "Light" for God, because it feels infinite and everywhere present.

"And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new, and trust the magic of new beginnings." ~ Meister Eckhart

I love this quote, because every day holds the possibility of a new experience if we just make a different choice.

I love that quote too. Ironically today is the day of a new start for me (its 1 of many and hopefully this time is the time it will work and where i will not give up)!
