It’s Cyber Monday and we have survived Black Friday, but the weight of the holiday season is upon us. Over-consumption of food and stuff that serves only to hide that which is most true or important to us puts a shadow over these days that are meant to be a reminder of light. That just after the longest night of the year and the darkest day, it is going to start getting lighter. Lighter and lighter with each and every day!
“The search for meaning will fill you with a sense of meaning. Otherwise life passes by in about seven weeks, and if you are not paying attention and savoring it as it unfurls, you will wake up one day in deep regret. It’s much better to wake up now in deep regret, desperate not to waste more of your life obsessing and striving for meaningless crap. Because you will have finally awakened.”
~Anne Lamott, Stitches: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair (pg. 87)
