In the past year I have known true love. I have seen great kindness and bitter hatred.
I’ve been paralyzed by fear and I’ve been transformed by bravery. I have rejoiced in the miracle of new life
and cried in cruel grief. I’ve made new
friends and said goodbye to others. I’ve
been knocked off balance by life’s twists and turns and found my balance
again. I’ve danced and sung, laughed
until I cried and cried until I could laugh again. I’ve witnessed beauty, amazing beauty every
day. I’ve smoked and drank and ate too
much. I’ve joked and played, slapped and
tickled, hugged and kissed. I’ve
stitched together a million moments and found happiness in each one. I’ve tucked them away in my memories so you
will be with me when we are apart. Now I stand in the threshold of a new year
and listen to the whispers of possibility.
