Dear Friends and Community,
Hope all enjoyed the holiday in a way that felt good to and for you. And so the season rolls on. I was just giving candy out on Halloween, and I was just anticipating the election. I hit that bump in the road, as well as many of us, forgetting for a moment, at least I did, the upcoming holidays that always arrive about now. And here we are, And here I am, and on we go, to the next and the ones that follow. And I am amazed at how most of us just fall into line and do this each and every year. Doing what we do holding what hold, giving what we have to give, and hoping to snag some joy out of the exhaustion that awaits us.
And we do. At least I think most us do. It is buried in the mix of it all. We find a rhythm, or a reason, or a purpose for it all. Even when it feels most difficult, I feel that maybe we all attract ourselves to what we are each trying to bring to those we love, and as a collective, in this one thing, this Christmas, Solstice/Yule Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and the Festivus for the rest of us, there is some sense of everyone being together, united in love. I think that vibration might just be out there among the lights, and despite everything we may loathe about the business of it all, there is some magic to be had. There is the miracle of love.
I will continue down the page after the announcements, the weeks schedule, and upcoming events.

And So We Go…and where we each must stop…
And I do not know about everyone. But I do know me, and how I feel about now after all that has happened over the last 8 years in our country and where we seem to be headed in the new year and and beyond. I am weary from feeling disdain. I am tired of condemnation. I am fatigued from concern. I am bored with comparing anything or anyone. I am exhausted trying to figure the angles of what can work to save us from losing our democracy. And I am worn out from feeling disgusted about lawlessness and criminality being chosen to govern our country. I am just tired of this battle over nonsense. I am sure I am not alone.
I will continue instead to be an encouragement to all those here, or in classes, or anyone I many meet, to be a light unto to yourself. That we have to stop to get to know who we are…who we each are, without the group, party or tribe we ascribe to. To come to know that within us there is a great Love that can, will, and does move us closer to each other. We will not need to agree with each other about everything, save one thing, that we each are worthy of each others respect because of the sacred potential we each have to become a true human being. We each should give that our attention…we should attend to our potential. It is only then that we will feel all the time, what we seem to be able to remember during this season…to be a more loving, more kind and compassionate, more generous, and more peaceful.
Learning the truth that awaits us in our light, we learn to trust more than doubt and love more than fear. We look everywhere for that light, or that buzz of good feeling, in many places, in many groups, but if we never seek it from within, it will not hold, sustain, inform, or anchor us to know just how immense the Love inside us is.
I am choosing to love. To give it. To hold it. To send it. To receive it. I trust there is a dharmic will and law that we each in our own way influence towards its end. The worst among us are bringing that end about as well, doing what they do to awaken others. And while the worst among us can change, the best among us cannot think we are better people for knowing our higher self, we are not better for seeing what is possible for each of us. Once we see, our responsibility towards love begins. Our approach matters, Where our heart is in our approach matters.The quality of our approach matters.
Can we change the world with our approach? We do it every day. For better or worse, we heal or harm. What if the healing is to offer compassion and love to those most in need of compassion and love? That just may be the better work right now, along with everything else that must be done, and has been done, it may be the only work we have not tried, in earnest. My heart is asking me to do just that.
I do not know about anyone else, but I know about me, and how I feel, and I know my heart, and the light I see there belongs to everyone, it is everyone. So Love it is.
Enjoy this holiday weekend and the season that is unfolding all around us.
Peace and blessings,
Denise Yocco
