(dedicated with gratitude to Mike Prepsky who always inspires)

As the presence of light
begins to grow with each passing day
may the fearful places in your heart
unclench their grasp on your life;
may your courage blossom and bloom.
Let this be the year that you
silence the monkey’s chatter,
pick up the drawing tool,
the pen, the paintbrush, the rasp,
and compose together with
the chorus of creativity.
Let this be the year that you
break the invisible yardstick
of impossible expectations
and learn that, just as you are,
you are enough –
and so much more.
Let this be the year that you
embrace the messy wonder
that is your life
as it is;
hold it close
and do the tango.
Let this be the year you
cherish your own humanity
be tickled by its
quirky charm.
Elope with the wonder
of your own true calling,
and invite the hungry world
to the wedding feast.
