As the New Year beckons, unwrapped
May you see the potential of empty spaces on the calendar
Not to be mindlessly filled with Musts
and
Shoulds
and
Oughts
But as the places--
almost womblike in their hallowedness--
Where
Hope
Love
Laughter
Relationship
Beauty
Stillness
Peace
Joy
Are given the
Breathing room
to flourish in your life.
