Merry Christmas – Tenth day!
On this day of Christmas, the lords were a-leaping. Leaping? Ahhhh, of course! They were young. But, what about those who cannot or can no longer physically leap?
Leaping – especially leaping over limits … opens thoughts as well as physical leaps. What about those limits we place on ourselves … limits society puts before us …limits others place on us? We can still leap … when we become involved in creative leaping, in spiritual leaping, in emotional leaping.
When astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon, he set a gentle reminder that “one small step” for one person can lead to “one giant leap” for all. When we ‘leap,’ others can be encouraged … encouraged to leap over the limits they find blocking, restricting their emotional or spiritual growth.
But what if fear is what keeps us from leaping into the big decision … be that a house move … a project … a relationship … a particular job or volunteer activity or … whatever! Naturalist and essayist John Burroughs wrote: “Leap and the net will appear.”
“The net will appear”!
Yes. We can be creative in our leaping – even in this global pandemic.
So, how about, in this first week of the new year, make this new year The Year of the Leap!
Let’s “leap”
… leap into action
… leap into healing
… leap into love
… leap into hope
… leap into joy
… leap into peace
… leap into personal growth.
Happy Tenth Day of Christmas!
Happy leaping!

Christmas Day began the Season of Christmas in the Christian tradition, offering a lovely stretch of time to reflect, enjoy, delight in, and consider how we can bring a little bit of Christmas into our life and the lives of others every day.
May the Twelve Days of Christmas be a reminder that Christmas isn’t just “one day.” The Spirit of Christmas can continue to be alive every day – even beyond the Season of Christmas. 🙂
