Messages of Liberation

Hopes and prayers soar in aspiration In this season of heightened anticipation When diverse cultures in our great nation Await their holidays with eager expectation Channukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa -- in ideation All Festivals of Light, their candles lit with jubilation In awareness of their symbolic inspiration Fervent flames proclaiming messages of liberation Midst the darkness of December's nocturnal hibernation And from its accomanying spiritual malaise and dislocation -- Blazing a path to renew mankind's powers of imagination Rekindling our sense of wonder at God's purposeful Creation

So would the Christmas tree be considered...vegetation? :) Well crafted my friend.

Well, in one sense, yes. In its metaphysical sense (whatever that means), however, I'd venture that it represents 'adoration' or 'rejuvenation.' Best of the season, Chris. And thank you, again and again, for all of your encouragement. :) gw
