A PATH FORWARD
IF YOU REMEMBER ONE THING from this column, remember this: Being out of harmony with your soul or with the demands of your spiritual nature is like having a rock in your shoe. It is going to bug you until you fix the situation. If you remember two things from this column, add this: Your soul is not about happiness. The rock in your shoe is not unhappiness. What our soul or spirit wants is to be fully present, innocent, and vulnerable to the vibrancy of life—to show up fully to life, whatever it brings.

THE SMALL THINGS WE CARRY
I CAN’T REMEMBER HOW LONG I have been carrying protein bars or other snacks in my glove compartment. I do this so that when I come to a stoplight where a person is sitting with a cardboard sign in hand, sun in their eyes and shoes worn thin, I can easily pop open my glove box and offer what I have. It doesn't happen too often, yet it did the other day. I realized the position I was in and what I had stashed away. It's my chance to look someone in the eyes who likely is not used to having their humanity affirmed. For the length of a breath, we are just two people in the same world. Rarely are words exchanged, but the hands say enough. I know it's not a lot, and it is what I have.

BORN FOR THIS: A COSMIC ADVENT
through a cosmic lens—one that sees the Christ not only born in Bethlehem but also awakening within each of us. From manger to ministry, the life of Jesus is a spiritual blueprint for our own journey. While the term or concept of Advent is not found in the Bible, it is a season of anticipation that draws powerful gifts for us from the Christmas story. This is the season of sacred becoming—an invitation to prepare space within ourselves for the birthing of divine light. The traditional Advent themes of hope, peace, love, and joy are living energies that nourish the soul and lead us to and through unexpected places.
