"Holy Winter Time"
“It is no coincidence that
the root word of whole, health, heal, holy, is HALE (as in hale and
hearty). If we healed, we come whole; we are hale and hearty; we are holy.
The marvelous thing is that
this holiness is nothing we can earn. We don't become holy by acquiring
merit badges and Brownie points. It has nothing to do with virtue or job
descriptions or morality. It is nothing we can do in this do-it-yourself
world. It is gift, sheer gift, waiting there to be recognized and
received. We do not have to be qualified to be holy. We do not have
to be qualified to be whole or healed."
-Madeleine L'Engle ...Author
During this holiday season, open to the healing forces that allow us all to be
hale and hearty once again during this holy time.
