Holiday Cheer

Surrounded by music and light from candles that have been passed around to illuminate this perfect night. The spirit of Christmas is certainly present here, I can feel the joy of love. Its the silence and stillness within the hustle and bustle of life that renews my soul time and time again. What magic this moment brings to me. The candle I hold spilling light on to this page as if knowing these words want to be written. Sublime life, sharing of light. Feeding the flame and burning brightly in this night. Effortlessly existing. The beautiful choir singing songs that bring smiles and movement to everyone. The stars in the sky reflected in the candles as the light bounces from happy face to happy face. To be experiencing harmony this holiday season is the best gift I have ever received. This is what Christmas time is about; peace, kindness and love for our families and friends. I send all of this majesty to you.

Dear Emily,

Warmest Christmas greetings from the Cape Breton Lynks. Through your writings, we feel a part of your rich journey of great personal and experiential insights. We have no doubt you will continue to channel this experience towards the greater good in the months and years to come. One hundred years ago, Cape Breton had infant mortality rates that equaled those of Zambia.It seems criminal in a world as rich as ours that any child should die from diseases of poverty. Tolstoy wrote in "War and Peace" that all that is required for evil to triumph is for good (men) to do nothing. It is reassuring to us that the world and it's future are in good hands with wonderful young people like yourself with such strong convictions and sense of social justice.

Stay healthy and seek joy wherever you may find it.

Warm regards,


Andrew, Kerry, Graham and Elizabeth Lynk
