Take Another Look
Maybe it is time to take a new look at neo-paganism. As I look to 2019 I hope for more openness and inclusiveness. Just because someone, or something is different from our previous experience doesn’t mean it is something bad or to be feared.
Be Curious
My first wish is for us all to stop being afraid, and start being curious. When we have the courage to explore the people, and the customs of those “new scary” people we quickly see little difference from ourselves. Be open. Be welcoming. You will quickly learn that understanding and friendship are only a smile and a hug away. It is only fear and ignorance that keeps us prisoners of hate.
Eat The Chow Mein
I can remember when I was very, very young I refused to eat “Chinese” food. If they had just told me it was American I would have eaten it, and loved it. It’s all about prejudice and fear of what is different from our experience. Don’t let the fear ruin your chance to make great discoveries. Open your world, eat the Chow Mein, you’ll love it.
