Christians have a beautiful practice at this time of year. The weeks leading up to Christmas are a time of Advent -- anticipation and patience with hope, peace, joy and love. This is the week of hope. If you want to mature your way of holding hope, here is a support for you:

  • light a candle and get settled

  • notice what you hope for in this moment and feel this hope as a natural human impulse toward goodness

  • bring that connection to goodness into your heart and allow it to expand; feel your warm-heartedness

    • toward your self,

    • toward what you hope for

    • toward others in the wider world.
