The holidays are powerful times to celebrate the light that shines in winter's darkness. They also tap into our capacity, our need, for awe and wonder. The light of the holidays includes the awe-some and awe-inspiring light that we can bring to the dark places of fear and despair, hatred and brokenness of the world.
Our "practice to take with you" this week is from Kelsey Maddox, who shares delightful stories of her family's experience of "awe walking." She tells of a recent experience with her 11-year-old son which, she says, "pulled me away from my to-do list and all the swirling going on in my head about making the season magical or important, or the day good for my children, and the world a good and safe place -- it pulled me away from all the tendrils of the DOING-that and took me into this moment of BEING-that, of being in awe."
