A THANKSGIVING BLESSING Greetings and Happy Thanksgiving, As we celebrate Thanksgiving 2021, we want to wish you, your loved ones, and friends a most blessed holiday. For many of us, Thanksgiving is the holiday we most look forward to. It is a time to gather with family and friends to share food, laughter, fellowship, and take a brief respite from the stresses of the world. It is a time for human connection. Human connection, the energy exchange between people, is one of the most amazing forces available to us. It has the power to deepen the moment, inspire change, and build trust. Our heartfelt hope for you is that every day, and especially this Thanksgiving, you make it a practice to live fully in the present—in the Now—savoring each moment and treasuring all the people you encounter in your vision and space. We like to think of the people we meet as divine messengers sent to help us on our journey, to lighten and brighten the loads we carry. This Thanksgiving we are now approaching twenty-one months mired in a deadly and destructive pandemic that has kept us apart and exposed many gaps in our “more perfect union.” As we celebrate our second Thanksgiving during the pandemic, we have much to be thankful for: a vaccine now available to children as young as five years old, antiviral drugs to treat COVID-19, and a gradual reopening of the economy. We are also thankful for the enhanced ability to gather in person safely, by watching our distance, washing our hands, and wearing our masks. In this way we can enjoy dining, entertainment, religious services, and community events. We can restore our human connections. After last Thanksgiving, when many of us were not able to be with loved ones and friends, our hope is that you will have that opportunity this year. Dear friends, may your Thanksgiving be full of love, connection, hope, and gratitude. In each unfolding moment, may you uncover, discover, experience, and feel the true joy of Thanksgiving. Our constant prayer for you remains: May you be well, May you be healthy, May you be loved, May you be safe, and may you be at peace.
