December Quotes
“This is what I have heard
at last the wind in December
lashing the old trees with rain
unseen rain racing along the tiles
under the moon
wind rising and falling
wind with many clouds
trees in the night wind.”

Spirituality & Health: Funeral for a Mouse
by Sarah Bowen
Our animal chaplain share what it’s like to choose compassion for the smallest of beings, even when it’s difficult.
“‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse,” claims the oft-recited poem. Originally published anonymously, “A Visit from St. Nicholas” quickly became a beloved staple of holiday traditions.

Learn Religions: The Norse God Loki
By Patti Wigington
Updated on June 25, 2019
In Norse mythology, Loki is known as a trickster. He is described in the Prose Edda as a “contriver of fraud.” It’s important to remember that “trickster” does not mean someone who plays fun jokes and pranks–Loki’s trickery is all about mischief and mayhem.

Inner Journey:THE FACE IN THE MIRROR
“Our inability to see beauty doesn’t suggest in the slightest that beauty is not there. Rather, it suggests that we are not looking carefully enough or with broad enough perspective to see the beauty.”
— Rabbi Harold Kushner
Who are you? You can gaze at your reflection in a mirror but you’re not likely to see your true likeness. You are beautiful, unique, perfect. Do you see that?
The world needs you to see how whole and complete you are — now. Can you begin to own your divinity? The world needs you to know who you really are so you can be the mirror for others.
“The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us, thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing.”
— John Muir

A Note from the Universe
However do you do it? You know, talk and make such sense? Walk and not fall down? Ask and then know the answer? Aim and then deliver? Show up on time? Always get by? Make just enough?You don’t know how, do you?
Haven’t got a clue.
You don’t know how, do you?
And that’s exactly how.
You leave the “hows” to Me, as you simply focus upon and move towards your desired end results.
You got this,
The Universe

Today’s Recipe: Mom’s Potato Latkes
Latkes (potato pancakes) are a must-have at Hanukkah, but are really wonderful any time of the year! This is my mother’s recipe, which is honestly the best potato latke I’ve had. I usually end up making a second batch because they disappear so quickly. I’ve tried other recipes and always return to this one. Lovely topped with sour cream or applesauce.

Daily Tarot: Temperance
Patience is your secret weapon to face down all obstacles today. Take your good old time to make sure you understand what needs to be done, for whom, why, and how. This methodical approach may not be your natural or favorite one, and it might annoy someone who has a different opinion of how urgent the issue is. Nonetheless, patience will get you through the day with fewer, if any, mishaps.
