A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

May this day arrive gently for you. Not as noise or obligation, but as a quiet remembering. May you feel how close love truly is— not distant, not earned, not conditional— but already present, breathing you, holding you, even in places you thought were forgotten.

If this season stirs joy, may it deepen. If it stirs grief, may it be met with kindness. If it feels like nothing at all, may that nothing be spacious and kind.

Christmas does not ask us to be brighter, better, or more faithful. It asks only that we pause long enough to let warmth reach us where we actually are.

May peace find you without effort.

May rest come without permission.

May the light you seek remind you that it has never left.

With love, and deep respect for your becoming.
