The secret of Christmas

Child, born in you
Light, born in you
Innocence, born in you
Peace, born in you

Christmas is about discovering and seeing, in ourselves, that we are light, innocence, peace, a child. Christmas mirrors that back to us: a child, innocent, fragile, little, helpless. It enables us to connect with the innocence in ourselves, the fragility, the littleness, the helplessness. At Christmas we briefly allow ourselves to kneel down, to be still, to be emptiness in the presence of the light that we are. At Christmas we connect with our possibility to give and to receive.

The secret of Christmas is so small that it is so big. Christmas is everything that is born in you, all the time. And sometimes, God, disguised as Christmas, helps us to see that. Dear child, you are the Child and God and Love andLight and Truth, for ever …

Doubt

The best thing that can happen to you is doubt
Doubt takes you beyond knowing

Doubt takes you beyond the absolute
Doubt takes you into disidentification

Doubt takes you into: “I don’t know”
Doubt takes you into Space
Doubt takes you into Love
Doubt takes you into You …

Where doubt arises,
Love can grow

Where there is doubt,
You are …

Place

Show me the place
where words are still
and thoughts are gone

Show me the place
where tears may fall
and arms will hold

Show me the place
where stillness grows
and silence speaks

Show me the place
where you are home
and never leave …

Once and now

Once upon a time
I believed
that after Christmas
the world would be different:
full of peace, full of light and love.

Once upon a time
I believed
that after Newyear’s Eve
the world would be different:
full of peace, full of light and love

Now
I know
that before and after Christmas
before and after Newyear’s Eve
the world in me eternally is the same:
full of peace, full of light and love ..
