listers<br>
<br>
Last evening, Christmas eve in the US, we went to what was supposed to be an
alternative spiritual celebration. Instead old Christian myths were perpetuated
with mostly old Christian songs, readings etc. These old myths are becoming
tiresome and boring to us and no longer hold our attention although, of course,
everyone knew the words and the stories. <br>
<br>
Does anyone else feel such alienation from old religious myths? Are we
arrogant? We looked at each other and wondered what an OS celebration of the
Solstice (Christmas, Hanukah, etc.) might be like -- could be like.<br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Has anyone ever done an OS Solstice
celebration? Does anyone have any thoughts anew about doing an OS to create
exciting, new, more widely useful new myths and celebrations?</span></b> <br>
<br>
If and when you respond, please say if you DO NOT want your response included
in a compilation of responses that we will prepare if appropriate and share
with the list and hopefully use ourselves.<br>
<br>
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!<br>
<br>
With love and warm blessings to all of you heart people out there (that is
everyone!).<br>
Love,<br>
Peter & Esther Fisher<br>
