"Night of Silence" by Daniel Kantor

....beautiful words of hope this Christmas eve.......enjoy.....

"Cold are the people, winter of life, we tremble in shadows this cold endless night. Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping, flowers that echo the sunrise. Fire of hope is our only warmth, weary its flame will be dying soon.

Voice in the distance, call in the night, on wind you enfold us, you speak of the light. Gentle on the ear you whisper softly, rumors of a dawn so embracing. Breathless love awaits darkened souls, soon will we know of the morning.

Spirit among us, shine like the star. Your light that guides shepherds and kings from afar. Shimmer in the sky so empty, lonely, rising the warmth of your Son's love. Star unknowing of night and day, Spirit we wait for your loving Son."

....Teabox Readings.....

I was reading the side of the box while making a cup of tea today and liked both of these so I just decided to share them...

"Once cold morning, I left my village to search for what was missing from my life. I battled many dragons, slaying them with my optimism. Behind me, the mountains of Shanghai bolstered my resolve, protecting my back from harsh winds, regardless of how far I strayed. The dizzy scent of orange blossoms and stars glowing like lanterns, led me home. Reaching my doorstep at last, I discovered I had within me all along all that I was looking for: love - more than enough for others, and plenty for myself. Truly, all that I sought was also seeking me. - Naomi Horii"

"There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. - Edith Wharton"
