This Island Earth
Sunday December 20th, 2015 with PeterB
Mostly spiritual, contemplative and introspective today. Peace be with you.
Today's program is decidedly on the spiritual and contemplative side. In the spirit of this and other devotional times of the year, be it Hanukkah, Ramadan, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Diwali, Festivus, winter solstice, or just enjoyment of life in this vast Universe. Whatever moves your soul, or lines up with your calendar… We are all sisters and brother on this one minuscule planet.
May peace be with you and yours.
Please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (it's over there ==>). It would be great to hear from you!
