An old year has passed. A new year dawns.
May 2018 be the year we open ourselves fully to life’s magic and mystery.
May it be the year we treat ourselves and others with kindness, patience, and love.
May it be the year we begin to forgive, to listen, to trust.
May it be the year that we dance and create, that we laugh and sing.
May it be the year we direct pure intention toward our goals, that we strive toward their realization, and that we help others to realize their own goals and potential.
May it be the year we work humbly to better ourselves, our community, and this cherished planet we all share.
May it be the year we find the courage to change what must be changed, and to banish what shadows we may face.
May it be the year we realize we are not alone, that we are all connected, and that each breath we draw binds us together with the myriad, unfathomable web of life.
May it be the year that we stand in solidarity with all those who are oppressed, with all who seek justice, and with all who defend our Mother Earth.
May the light shine in each and every one of us. May it guide us forward in our journey of transformation. May it lead us, surely, steadily, toward the emancipation of all.
Blessed be!
