“A long December and there’s reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last”
-Counting Crows
It is the closing of the year as we pass from one time to another. It has been a year filled with challenges and significant loss and uncertainty and yet here we are. Here we are like we have always been. We endure, We are resilient, We are all things human. My heart with each passing year seems to grow and my capacity for loss and love seems ever expanding. I am blessed to be part of a community that always digs down deep to find the chewy center, That digs down deep to find the way through.
We rely on each other and we look to each other when the way forward seems unclear. There is always someone to reach out to, someone who has clarity when you don’t. I celebrate the courage that it takes to create, generate, participate, initiate. This is a time of introspection and review. A time to take inventory of what was-what is and what’s coming. I wish all of you and yours a time of rest and resolve. A time of love and peace.
A time to breathe.
Happy holidays.
