Greetings Dear Reader,
“In easy state upon this couch, there sat a jolly Giant,
glorious to see; who bore a glowing torch, in shape not unlike Plenty’s horn,
and held it up, high up, to shed its light on Scrooge, as he came peeping round
the door. ‘Come in!” exclaimed the
Ghost. ‘Come in! and know me better, man!’”
– Charles Dickens
What we call here Plenty’s horn is the cornucopia. It is that symbol we associate with the harvest, Autumn,
and abundance provided this time of year.
Whether you acknowledge that these things come from the Father or not,
we must agree that the provision comes from somewhere.
It is in this that I begin to think this time of year of how
we meter things that relate to our treatment of each other. As my heart turns toward the closing of the
year, I long to see the abundance of good things for everyone. I wish for all of my fellow humans to see the
abundance of love and grace that flows from the Father in a constant stream
from which we are all free to drink.
As I prepare my heart for the seasons of gratitude and
giving, I want to begin to ponder deeply the things that we have in abundance
to share with others. I am not speaking
of the material but the intangible. Like
the Vikings did, I wish to pass around the drinking horn from which we can take
in our fill of things that help and heal.
We can also, in turn, pour those things out to others without fear of
having less for ourselves.
Please, Dear Reader, walk with me as we examine the many things
that we have in such deep abundance that we can constantly give them away and
never have less to give. We will also
never lack from doing this. In truth, we
will be nourished by the sharing of them.
As always, I treasure your thoughts and questions.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

homeowner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
