Christmas fever


Hot hot hot

Maggie and I attended the 8am service and each congregation-member received these beautiful stars, lazer-cut "ligdraers" or "bearers of light", which ties in nicely with a monthly electronic -newsletter I receive from Paulo Coelho (famous-author of the Alchemist)
warrior of light

I hung mine on our tree.
I love my tree.




extract from Paulo's most recent writings:

The Aleph

William Blake used to say that we can see the infinite in a grain of sand and eternity in a flower.In truth, a simple moment of inner harmony is enough for that to happen.That is where the great problem resides: we almost never allow ourselves to realize that the present moment in itself holds all the glory. Sometimes, it expresses itself in a completely casual manner.

You are walking in the street, sit in a certain place and suddenly the entire universe is right there. The first thing that comes up is a huge desire to cry – not for sadness, neither for happiness, but simply to show emotion. You know you are comprehending something, even if you are not even able to explain it to yourself.

I hope that you have had such a moment recently. What a gift.

Anyway- back to the current climate: festivity and beautiful food and a full belly!
Lovely time was had by all.
A hot South- African Christmas was wrapped up in Camp's bay promenade,
Pepper club on the beach.
and at home with a braai. bliss. happy smile.
feeling full ( in all possible definitions or nuances of the word)
