The horizon is not so far as we can see, but as far as we can imagine

Merry Christmas

Hope you’re having a good one. If not, hope it isn’t too awful.

Use as an open thread for nice things if you wish.

    The Star of Bethlehem on the Horizon

    We are gazing at the star of Bethlehem on the horizon. It is far far away, but there is still hope. A spark of luminosity is there. The land may be dark, the sky may be gray and black. It might be chilly, and we might be cold, uncomfortable, tired and restless. But nevertheless the star of Bethlehem is over there. Human beings hope. The final hope that human beings could ever be hopeful of is enlightenment, the star of Bethlehem on the horizon.

    Merry Christmas everyone! I’ve had lonely holidays as an adult, but I found a way to make them fun. I take myself out on a date. If places are open wherever I’m living, I’ll go for lunch, a movie, etc. Then once I’m home for the day I’ll curl up with a good book.
