Our Theme for December is Awe
Being awe-struck can sometimes be a feeling of being a small part of something so vast as to almost be beyond comprehension. Yet it can also be something that makes us feel profoundly connected – even at home in a vast universe.
We are all made of the same stuff as the stars, which means we are all made of stardust. Some physicists say that contemplation of the vast universe doesn’t make them feel smaller, it carries them into a deeper awareness of our connections. Looking up at the stars, contemplating the cosmos can also allow us to look across at each other.
Let us do both in this season on longer nights – best for seeing stars and for seeing each other in firelight and candlelight.
