the great holidays of love and light are only a few days away. I was teaching my last yoga class before a two weeks break, as the studio is going to be renovated and yes, everyone needs a break, right!?
oh yes, the break...I am longing for a break right now...
as we're moving house just after Christmas (and I figured it's only in a week) I tried to keep my hands away from too much Christmas decoration and no Christmas crafting this year...after being really sad about it I accepted and well, it's going to be Christmas next year again :-)
but - I couldn't resist the Christmas tree...for the girls and also for me. I am just a big child when it comes to the tree. luckily some of the plant shops in Cairo do import Christmas trees from Holland and yes, we did get one and it's already up and decorated. right, totally against our tradition. but this is the year I just have to accept that things can be different sometimes and still good and happy.
as I am writing here I have the tree in my back and smell it all around me. and that's so worth it... also my big girl helped decorating for the first time and loved it and admires "her" tree!
still some bits and pieces left for little baby Jesus to do on the 24th but within the house starting to fill up with boxes little by little a look at the tree reminds me to pause, take a deep breath and take a moment.
with a last shopping trip tomorrow I hope to enter 3 quiet days before the move...not sure if it will work out but we'll try our best. I might not resist some Christmas cooking...
with this I wish you all a very merry Christmas and happy days with lots of love and light...
the light is within.
it is already there.
take your time to see it.
Swami Satchidananda
