Merry Christmas

[Ron Gatrelle]

Greetings all
    Whether we are Christians, of another faith or non-religious, the wish
of peace on earth and good will to/among men is certainly something that is
embraced by all of humanity.  While the primary focus of Christmas is the
incarnation of God for a divine purpose (John 18:37a) - (something that is
accepted, debated or rejected the world over),  the above stated first
Christmas wish is one we all hope to someday see as universal reality.
Against the backdrop of our current global trauma, my wish is for your
individual circumstance to be as "merry" as it can possibly be.

    Flame put to the candle
    will melt but wax
    and lighten a space.

    Love put to the soul
    will melt the heart
    and lighten a world.

    Light the flame of love
    that hope may spring
    eternal.

Ron Gatrelle
