on the threshold of the new year
i feel blessed
in so many ways
i am grateful
for opened hearts
for mending hearts
for connection
for disconnection
for reconnection
for friendship
for adversity
for forgiveness
for breath
for light
and for love
more love than i could have dreamed
and too, i am thankful for
the lessons learned in the past year
about all that is unimagined, yet possible
about loving oneself
about loving others
about acceptance
about presence
about compassion
and too, forgiveness
i won't even begin to think about what the new year will bring
but i know
it has begun from a place
i couldn't have fathomed
last year at this time
(hello)
(happy new year)
(it's good to be back after such a long time away)
