ANOTHER YEAR ends. Hallelujah to that!
It’s been a torrid year in many regards, but it strikes me that there are always reasons to be cheerful.
Skylines, cityscapes, landscapes, wondering what lies beyond the horizon. Hope.
First love, broken hearts, bad poetry.
Reconciliation, forgiveness, redemption, revenge.
Conviviality, community, living-together-ness.
The changing of the seasons.
The freedom to travel, nostalgia, wanderlust, longing for home.
Dreams, disappointments, glorious failures.
Those places where angels hover, unseen.
Humanity.
Humanity!
Amen.
