The Enneanean says: “Home is where the soul lives when you have left it behind; and home is where you come back to it, when you must.” I would add home is where you find nourishment and the “where” you come back to when you are hungry. I celebrate the table of Christuman where we have had many feasts of the soul—where I have been challenged to my very roots, where I have heard the call to exceed my ability to exceed, where I have witnessed perseverance in its fullness, where I have experienced the genius of each, and where the combination of “the mountain and the thunder” as the I Ching describes it, has given me openings to new ways in and new ways out. I celebrate the Christuman table where my soul’s journey is enriched and fortified and I am made whole and Human. As the Enneanean says, “In the Spirit we are in the image of the divine.  In the body we are the image of the Earth.  In the human being we are the true synchrony of both.” May we not grow weary, but rather realize the good fortune that awaits those who persevere in providing and finding nourishment, who continue the striving for the synchrony of both. Let this year now be our year to find gratefulness in the middle of our perseverance and find the grace to say grace, to find thanks and to stay in a state of thankfulness, in state of grace throughout our perseverance. Amen.
