> The Reason For The Season was the birth of a little boy
> to a poor single mom.
> He was treated with care because his birth and life were rather
> . . . hyped.
> He grew up in a climate of respect feeling pretty sure of his Self.
> Apparently, he was well-liked, and he reciprocated. As an adult,
> his open spirit and awareness generated a fair amount of wisdom,
> and people gravitated to him.
>
> Believe it or not, this was a new thing for that time. Because he was
> sure of his Self, he did not let this human gravitation go all go to his head.
> People then discovered their hunger for his sort of awareness and spirit
> and his real care for others, which crashed headlong into the current
> power structure so they killed him.
>
> His memory lives on because in our hearts, we know that we would like
> the same sort of spirited aware grounded Self that is able to care for
> and share with others. It is a powerful pull that resides way under
> our daily lives of dealing with political machinations.
>
> Now the Religious Power Structure has attempted to cash in the life

> I like Christmas, and I am very very glad Jesus was born, but as importantly,

> To love someone in an unqualified way precludes cheating on them and

> Watch the liars make their excuses, it is they who are robbed of

> Go love all of those who you love and mean it.

And Merry Christmas to all of you. Thanks for your commentary Colin- pursuing the attitude of love and non-judgement with greater commitment would benefit us all.
