What shall you do
with this generous gift
of another precious year?
As your music plays
mellifluously
here and now
and the sun rises
on your hopes invisible
and still possible.
Can you move into this now
and this now and this now
with enchantment
bewilderment
and vigilant attention?
As others you’ve loved
are silenced by that long sleep
what shall you roar
from the rooftops
in this uncharted year?
Why not be
daring
passionate
kind
grateful
loving.
In the midst of this life’s
madness and beauty,
and inexorable sorrows,
seek opportunities to scatter more love.
Support others
so no one suffers alone
share a bit of your own light
when you have some to spare
and adore yourself a little more.
Greet the day with a light heart
palms pressed together in reverence
for another chance to love.
Is it possible
to be in love with yourself,
your own luscious life
and the whole world?
In an ineffable blink of an eye
you will take your last breath
and what you will remember
of this remarkable journey
will surely be love.
