There are more things to add to this list, but it’s a decent start.

Winter reflections are hands reaching down, to sort us out and move us around. Leaves already fallen, decisions made. Futures intact. Reciprocity. Layers. Love.

May we be the eyes
and the hands,
the heart, and the voice,
the persistent tries,
meeting graceful demands,
givers of a fresh start,
who with gratitude rejoice.

“Women are like teabags. You never know how strong they are until they’re in hot water.” — Often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt
.
Preparation determines perspective. In these days of climate extremes, lying authorities, injustices, hunger, homelessness, constant war, religious exiles, familial disputes, and hypocrisy, can we all take a moment to appreciate the strong women in our lives. The ones who gave when they didn’t get and always stood up for what is right. May our women continue to be bold and strong. And may the men strive to be worthy of them.

Keep the direct line open. Authenticity is worth more than its weight in gold.

When people blend into each other, as two become one, and they reflect on life as a teacher, as a game, a test, as a comedy and as a tragedy, as not worth it, and as completely worth it. In these late night explorations which spill into the day we may find what we ascribe the title of ‘answers’. But, we find more than that is the previous other, blended with ourself is the answer. The reconciliation of any differences, perceived as strength, in the form of a growing relationship. Relationship and connectivity is the answer.
For any living thing is either growing or it’s dying, and usually it’s both at the same time. We pour into each other from overflowing vessels to ultimately see that there is no other. There is no away. There is no when. Only we, here, and now.

Hold on to those dreams you had when you were young, when you believed more in the world’s potential. Keep them bound closely to your heart, and jot them down from time to time, to serve as reminders for yourself in your darkest hours. Those dreams were put there for a reason. May they also serve others as well who are merely waiting in line, looking towards the front, continuing the cycle of burning calories on the treadmill within the rat race, wishing they had held on to their dreams too.

As I should not cheat or disrespect my fellow humankind, neither should I cheat or disrespect myself.

We built pillow forts beneath our blanket of stars, and laid out dreams across the grass before us. We serenade the fireflies with a few bars, as if natural creation itself were the chorus.
