In the west we wait to sit beside our xmas tree, the classic tradition transitioning into the harsh reality of a long winter. These rituals unite the people around a common familial purpose, preparation and unity for the hard months ahead. In our modern world we have drifted into the comforts of consumption within our walls wrapped with our oblivious thoughts to those facing permanent hardships in far off lands. As we unite around our trees, let us embrace the symbol of strong branches, firm roots, and needles and leaves drifting off into distant lands , caring our imagination and compassion with them.
Peace @Clumsysilverdad
