As the season winds down, having already fallen into the coldest part of the year, more ballads can be heard around conversations holding a bit more cheer. For some though, this time from the Solstice to the new year is dreaded, having wished to be anywhere else instead it is met with trepidation and gloom. For some baby it’s cold inside, and it’s time to face those greatest fears. Perhaps a loved one met their doom, or perhaps these days are a perpetual source of tears. So as we red and green everything, assessing the family budget and what everything will cost, let us not forget those who have no desire to sing, but who simply desire to get lost. For the spirit will dwell with each alike as all will arrive on their own terms, so long as the light within matches the lights around, and the season of giving affirms.

“Why doesn’t somebody do something?”
People are doing things. Every day.
People are fighting good fights every day. People are upset, overjoyed, surprised, overwhelmed and born every day.
People fall in love, eat at new restaurants, empty the garbage, listen to the radio in traffic, and die every day.
People leave jobs and start new ones every day. Baggage, literally and metaphorically, gets lost every day. Somewhere it’s too hot or too cold every day. Kids have birthday parties every day. We’re all slopping through the muck of past mistakes, and dealing with information at an alarming rate.
We are all hoping for a better existence. It’s just that we have such differing views on how to get there. People are serving and giving, listening and preparing, hugging and lending every day.
There are helpers in every corner of the world. There are just as many beautiful and tragic stories happening right now in boarded up projects AND gated communities. There are battles being fought every moment of every day. We can choose to ignore that, or we can take up arms and letters for the sake of the sacred. Will you join me?

To the grinders that give reminders of what those diviners have been trying to do this whole time. To make music. To tell stories. To change lives. To aid the world somehow. To those who seek movement, purpose, meaning, truth, and authenticity over fame. To those who will never have a known name. To those good enough to play the game, and also good enough not to. To those who daily move mountains for an audience of one.

We celebrate festivals across the days and nights of our lives. We light up the sky, bearing witness to the miracles with our eyes. The new beginnings marked by eights establish how the spirit survives. The provision which always arrives on time bolsters our tries to draw closer. To draw higher up, deeper in, and be present in this moment of gratitude.

The same saying “May you live in interesting times.” can be attributed as being both an ancient curse, and an ancient blessing. May simple verse be enough for complicated times. May the sharing we provide with each other be enough for interesting ones.
