Pausing Before the Turn of the Page

Pausing before the turn of the page

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.
