Hello dear friend,
Can you feel the season changing?
Here on the northern California coastside,
the relentless fog has finally lifted
revealing clear blue skies and bright
sunshine. Yet the crisp breeze reminds us
that fall is in the air.
Being able to gaze at the stars on
a moonless night is something that I do not
take for granted. So, during this new moon
I wanted to be in touch with you to share
some reflections. I miss
you!

Often during our New Moon
Ceremonies on ZOOM, I play for you an
inspiring video as food for thought. The
beautifully produced short filmbelow is worthy of contemplation
as we enter this cycle of reflection
during the new moon.
The film is about the crisis of
belonging, the high price of progress, and
the return journey home, as told by
author/philosopher Charles Eisenstein. Here
is an excerpt from the uplifting
conclusion:
“The very fact that you are
here with your aspirations and your
yearnings for a more beautiful world means
that it is possible and that you have a
role to play in it. I cannot explain why
that is true, but there is a certain logic
to it, and that logic draws on the
knowledge that there is intelligence in all
things, that the world is not just an
accident.”

And so we do our inner work,
connect with our compassionate spirit
teachers, and most importantly, reach out
to our fellow human beings, strengthening
our sense of community and belonging.
Then, we light up the world with our
smile and joy as the Hindus are doing
right now during the Diwali Festival of
Light.

May the long time sun
Shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure light within
you
Guide you on your way.
Hugs and infinite
blessings,
Sonya
