Leddy Hammock Inspired by “A Quiet Christmas” by Michael Gott: My heart longs for a quiet Christmas, far from the hurry and the noise, for peace on earth meets peace of mind. I can slow my mind.

Dell deChant Lyrics from “Letting Go of Holding On” by Richard Mekdeci & Mario Freidel: “I let go of the feelings that feed on lack and greed. I let go of the reasons keeping me in need.

“My Soul Magnifies the Lord,” Mary tells the Angel Gabriel in the gospel of Luke. The song she sings next is a vision of a world that might be, one where the mighty are thrown down, the hungry are fed, and the beloved community arrives. What lessons do her words hold for us, 2000 years later? ​
