May the New Year Be Kind to You

May the new year be kind to you.
May it unfold gently,
with moments of warmth that find you when you least anticipate them
and with simple lasting joys that deepen with time.

May there be peace in the ordinary days,
light in the heavier ones,
and kindness, given and received, woven through it all.

May you feel supported when you are tired,
hopeful when the road feels uncertain,
and grateful for the quiet blessings that often go unnoticed.

May what you carry become lighter,
what you seek come closer,
and what you love continue to grow.

And may this new year meet you with grace,
offering space to heal,
room to dream,
and the reassurance that good things are still finding their way to you.

Walk gently on this earth with purposeful steps
You share this space with seven billion human beings
And countless other precious life forms
Just like you
They all want to be happy and safe
Just like you
They all need love
We’re not going to survive unless we
Walk gently on this earth together,
Until we touch something in others that
Feels just like the shards of our own pain,
The fluttering warmth of our own joy,
Until we sew their wounds into our hearts
And seal it with our own skin."

I appreciate Mary Oliver’s poetry 💜

"My work is loving the world," "which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished."
It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak....
