SO NEAR, SO FAR AWAY

Thursday, Dec. 26, 2019
 
 
People are like celestial bodies, each orbiting within the gravitation force of something powerful out there.
 
For earth, it’s the sun. For some, it’s their son. For many, their orbit is around profession, career, or company. We travel near and far but always with a psychic gyroscope down deep – our guidance system.
 
Times like this bring us closer, just as earth will, on January 5th, experience Perihelion – being nearest the sun two weeks after the December solstice …
 
Reaching out to someone far away, to a stranger, to someone in a crowd is difficult – but still easier for many people than reaching out to someone in the same room, the same family, the same home.
 
And, if you are getting up early to take advantage of post-Christmas sales (Boxing Day in Canada and the UK), you better get going or you’ll miss the best deal.
