All linked with the lovely metaphor of Christmas. it's darkness and midwinter coming, so defiantly we hold a light in our hearts. It's war but we hold to peace. Enjoy.

in the background you can hear the amazing music of the choir in Cuil Aodha, Ballyvourney. The CD Go mBeannaitear Dust is available from Gael Linn.

darThese musicians, and their director, Peadar O Riada are a gift to their church, community and society. Listening to their CDs all week I was moved deeply by the sense of the sacred in their work and it inspired me to do another meditation on Liturgy and communal prayer. I hope it brings you joy. And look out for the music of Peadar O Riada and the music of Cor Chuil Aodha

oin me for the beginning of Samhain, Winter, the long walk towards the Solstice, and onwards to a new year. My meditation this week is a very personal rambling thread about how in a human life solitude must be balanced with connecting with others, and how the Truth establishes itself in our hearts, and how we hear it when we are alone and how we it speaks us, when we connect with others.

And it all finds it's focus by reflecting on the lovely souls that are gone before us into heaven.

We say things like he is the one for me. She is the one for me. OK. So who is it ? Hope you love this meditation on the fusion of everything into the one; the cause of our joy is always the other person; and they are.......the one.

This is part one of two. I'm must very focused now on the Christian thing that I thought I'd go after two big ideas. The first is heaven. Thinking like this is really helpful for the journey through grief. Love sharing it with you.

Thinking about a lovely woman who passed away got me reflecting on the great mystery of life and eternity, if there is such a thing. And dwelling on the loveliness of someone brings me to the conclusion that everyone is the buddha. Or the Beloved as Rumi might say. I hope you take pleasure from this memory
