Dear Community,
What a delightfully religiously diverse season! I love it!
Are you having fun?

Along with the inquiry about fun, I have a very important question for you… and a few reminders.

QUESTION:
in light of Thursday evening being Christmas Eve… and the church (most likely) being unavailable for our usual dance… I would like to offer an alternative gathering, which would be an attunement to the essence of Jesus’s message… an experience of Christianity from a non-Christian perspective… Music, contemplation, conversation, dance… Are you interested? Available? It would be:
Thursday the 24th,
in Fort Collins…
from 7:30 to 9:30 PM…
not sure of location yet.
RSVP so I can arrange for an appropriate sized place.

REMINDERS:

Saturday, December 19th – ZIKR – 7 PM to 9:30 – Rocky Mountain Miracle Center (1939 S Monroe St, Denver) – $5 suggested donation and dessert potluck.

Saturday December 19th – YULE RITUAL – 10 PM – Mercury Cafe (2199 California St, Denver) – $13 at the door – if you want to get there earlier… doors open at 8, opening invocations at 8:30, belly dancer, Sensory Orchestra… I lead the ritual at 10.

Monday, December 21st – Sufi Meditation – 9:30 AM – 2727 Alan St, Ft Collins

The rest… I’ll wait to hear from you.

And… here’s this moment’s encouragement for more happiness, peace, and joy in the world. You won’t regret clicking this link:

It’s raining and B’kitu, my dear old cat just came inside… soaked. I do believe soaking wet cat is the most pitiful image in all of creation. Well… that and an empty butter dish.
Well… those and a “closed” sign on the doughnut shop.
I hope you are already asleep and therefore will not have nightmares based on these sad ideas.
Happy thoughts!
