  2. It’s been a year of continuing recovery of our collective psyches. Let’s open our doors of true perception wider in 2024.

  5. It is my hope that all children and adults, no matter what neighborhood they live in, what country they call home, or what spiritual journey they’re on, will have the opportunity to become healthier and more joyful in 2024.

    We at Pacifica infuse even the most mechanical forms on earth with the living breathing soul of divinity! May 2024 bring the brightest benevolence and blessings to all of you and your beloved.

  9. I want to share with you a poem that I spoke into the recent Winter Solstice Myth Salon.

    For some reason, tonight as I was listening to it again, I thought of you.

    I hope you’ll enjoy it as a moment of sharing the new year that is about to come forth.

    Wishing you well,

    Dana

    A poem for you by e.e. cummings – i thank you God for most this amazing

    i thank You God for most this amazing
    day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
    and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
    which is natural which is infinite which is yes

    (i who have died am alive again today,
    and this is the sun’s birthday;this is the birth
    day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
    great happening illimitably earth)

    how should tasting touching hearing seeing
    breathing any-lifted from the no
    of all nothing-human merely being
    doubt unimaginable You?

    (now the ears of my ears awake and
    now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

    Avec bisous,
    Charles

  41. A toast 🥂from Dr. Amber McZeal
    A word
    An intention shared for this deep yin winter.

    Not everyday is a good day,
    live anyway.
    Not everyone you love will love you back,
    love anyway.
    Not every deal is fair,
    play fair anyway.
    ~ Lessons Learned in Life

    “There are years that asks questions, and years that answer.”
    ~ Zora Neal Hurston

  44. Why did you stop dancing?
    Why did you stop drumming?
    Why did you stop writing?
    Why did you stop singing?
    Why did you stop loving?
    Why did you stop believing?
    Why did you stop feeling?
    Why did you stop dreaming?
    Get back to your passion. Allow passion to take you from where you are to are, to the world of spiritual fulfillment where you rightfully belong.

  64. Should auld acquaintance be forgot
    And never brought to mind?
    Should auld acquaintance be forgot
    And the days of auld lang syne?
    For auld lang syne, my dear
    For auld lang syne
    We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet
    For the sake of auld lang syne
    And surely you will buy your cup
    And surely I’ll buy mine!
    We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
    For the sake of auld lang syne
    We two have paddled in the stream
    From morning sun till night
    The seas between us Lord and swell
    Since the days of auld lang syne
    For old acquaintance be forgot
    And never brought to mind
    Should old acquaintance be forgot
    For the sake of auld lang syne?
    For old acquaintance be forgot
    And never brought to mind
    Should old acquaintance be forgot
    In the days of auld lang syne?
    For auld lang syne, my dear
    For auld lang syne
    We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet
    For the sake of auld lang syne

  65. The thin wafer smiles
    Hold it in your hand for now
    The chalice beckons.

    Resentments kill soul
    Think of others suffering
    Let life live you now

  66. May the light of the Universe transform the darkness and usher in a New Year of Hope, Happiness, and Peace.
    Love, Toni
