Holiday Bubble

Posted by Barbara (Florida, United States) on 4 December 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual.

How easily we get caught up in the rush of life
and all of the expectations put upon us.
Especially during the holiday season we forget to pause, close our eyes, take in a deep breath and be at peace with ourselves.
Afterall, if we cannot be at peace with ourself how can we be peaceful with others.

Step out of the Holiday Bubble and spread the peace unto others.

Peace to all of the AM3 community worldwide.

This is thoughtful and extremely well captured! Kudos to you, Barbara! But....don't you think that this holiday period at the end of every year is meant for us to relax, to remember laughing, to remember being children again? It's not about shopping, partying, eating and drinking (though all these are traditions by now!), it's about getting in touch with the best, tenderest and friendliest being inside us! If we can manage it, then we can go on for another year at peace with ourselves and the world!

@Japanalia: You expressed this perfectly. There are too many that have lost or never had the true meaning of Christmas. It is now much of what you described.
Thank you for the comments.

Catching up ... as you can tell. Barb, this is wonderful.

I love your bubble effect and your plea for others "to pause, close our eyes, take in a deep breath and be at peace with ourselves. Afterall, if we cannot be at peace with ourself how can we be peaceful with others."

What better holiday message could one send?
