There was a very wonderful moment that just caught me, tonight during our Blue Christmas Service after we had lit our candles. They were scattered across a few low tables, burning away. The music was playing (the stunningly fantastic Sarah McLachlan's Wintersong) and we turned out the overhead light. The only light was that of the candles, our memories...
'Let the light that comes from the memories of these loved ones guide us, and show us, there is nothing that separates us. It is one continuum. We are all in the great link. It is just we are at different places along it'
And so we were able to remember and made the right space for those we need to know are part of our Christmas even though they are gone from it physically.
