December 21 … Beautifying the Planet

After work or school, find either a park or a long stretch of sidewalk in your neighborhood that looks “messy.”  Then, for at least one hour, clean it up.  Be creative and have fun while doing so … Notice how much better it feels after you’ve finished, and notice how much better you feel while doing so!

Bonus Activity:  Collect dead wood from a local park or forest and light a “bonfire” tonight to celebrate that Cleansing (it can be a very small one – even a candle-lighting ceremony is fine).  Invite friends and family to share its warmth on this, the longest night of the year.
