Go now, sweet dove and find hearts to fill your own. Carry me. We shall send love into this weary world.

Pause and Reflect
This Christmas what I wish for doesn’t come packaged inside a box or glammed up in a gift bag. Long ago, I boxed the photographs and tucked away the memories of Christmases past.
Perhaps it’s the wisdom of age. Or just plain old weariness. I long for simplicity and gifts that can’t be placed underneath the tree. There is nothing I need; the possessions I own just fanciful and temporary, faded and broken.
I long for Peace. Peace on Earth. I want to live in a world that is kinder, a more compassionate place. A world where wars become stories in history texts.
I long for love and belonging. No child forgotten.
I long for family to circle round. The world is way too big now.
And finally, as I think about the upcoming holiday season, I whisper a “thank you” to my friends. You hold space in my heart.
