The Reluctant Mermaid

Follow the Star

We have now come to the portion of our programming where we reflect. Reflect on all things good this year, reflect on the wishes that came true and those still waiting in the wings. Reflect on the growth and the healing that happened after the suffering. There are many ways to share all that I feel right now- at this glorious, yet lonely time of year for me... but what I choose to say is what was written by an Unknown Author, read at the holiday pageant and accompanied by a year of photos of the moments most dear to me.

Have a Merry Mermaid Holiday my friends, Love Kat



Go into the world and bid others to follow the star


Tell them the star means wisdom


Tell them the star means kindness


Tell them the star means understanding


Tell them the star means tolerance


Tell them the star means sacrifice


Tell them the star leads to a vision of a fairer world,


Tell them the star shines in the heavens and in their hearts and if they will follow... they will bring peace and joy to others and find it themselves.

Oh Kat - what a wonderful post. I wish you could have been at our service with us yesterday - I would love to have shared it with you. We welcomed in the winter's solstice and each season, as performed, shared their meaning and joy before turning to the next season. Each one ended their comments with the question "Did you think it would last forever?" Made me appreciate each season more and gave each personal season of life more sense.

Here is a link for the text of it: http://members.fortunecity.com/olycuups/olycuups/Yule_97.html

It was an amazing service. And my hope for both you and I is to remember it will not last forever. To see beyond our limitations to better days and at the same time seize the moments (like our children) which truly will not last forever.

Peace.
