I like to think that we are all what we are all the time. It is just that everyone has lapses into humanity from time to time. This is one such lapse. When you look at the controversies raging you immediately know your place. However, among enemies and cherished friends, associates and yes, sometimes even family, it is GOOD to have truces. It is good to have peace, if only temporarily.
In WW1 at Christmastime in 1914 the British and French and German forces spontaneously broke into a truce. The dead were buried and hostilities ceased as as enemies in war enjoyed each others company in PEACE. While it is true that miracles DO NOT cluster, it is also true that man's nature is NOT as pugnacious as naysayers would have us believe. (

The very fact that the E.A. exists, and that EVERYBODY is welcome to seek information about this heretofore TABOO subject is evidence that a certain spirit of camaraderie permeates this web site, and that spirit is evident in the leadership and I dare say the membership of those who come here to post, to read and to think about the subject matter, be it fact OR fiction.
SO, I say, HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all here. May you find magic and healing at this time of the year and if and if you do not may you find an understanding that makes your life if not joyful at least liveable. May you find new friends and acceptance and may you most of all find PEACE while the controversies RAGE around us.
Take a moment and give thanks to whomever you may that we are all still here and that we are all progressing in our own way to whatever and to wherever we are going. Know for a moment that you have found a place of respite with friends and contemporaries. Know that somebody cares...
