Merry Christmas, dear friend!
Meister Eckhart reminds us
that we must not only
celebrate and remember
the birth of Christ 2000 years ago
but we must also recall,
in this incarnational moment,
that now is the time
when Christ is born today among us.
Yes! This is the time to welcome
the birth of Christ in 2022,
as we celebrate
the Cosmic Christ’s presence
in the midst of our prayers,
beauty and hope.
On this Christmas day,
may this cosmic wisdom
dispel all darkness and fragments of war.
May this Christmas day be a time
when the mystic and prophet in each of us
flourishes and becomes fully alive.
On this Christmas day,
we pray that the radiant true self in each of us
becomes a vibrant presence
alive throughout this sacred Earth
and all creation.
May each of us
on this Christmas 2022,
recognize and give great thanks
for the precious gifts we have received,
as gratefulness flows
across the world.
