Good day,
A rare conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter at the time of the Solstice
on Dec 21st presents us with an opportunity for a Global Convergence
in heart and mind.
Here are details on the conjunction and how to view it:

Here are some events to join:
And here are wonderful sentiments for our time that can
be the core of a shared meditation over the next few days:
"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly
romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of
cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
“What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives.
If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we
remember those times and places–and there are so many–where people have behaved
magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of
sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
"And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some
grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to
live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad
around us, is itself a marvelous victory."
- Howard Zinn in his 2002 autobiography "You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving
Train"
Have a great day.
