At this very point,
when the old ends and the new
begins, what should we anoint?
~
Anoint newness with hope
as the old evanesces
into historic annals.

Since years always pass,
isn’t it better to note
as they come not when they’re gone?
~
While it is good
to note comings and goings,
it’s great to be present now.
What I want to know
is where did the years go and
how can we find them?
~
They pass, as always,
at the usual pace.
We must notice them passing.
With the end of all
this holiday hurry and
rush, is NOW the time for peace?
~
Ah, if we can but
pause and breathe the mayhem might
be replaced by peace.
Any suggestions
for how best to move into
the new year that lies ahead?
~
By celebrating
achievements and forgiving
ourselves for failures.
If God so loved
the world that he gave his son,
what became of his daughter?
~
A better question
might be, can we all, sons and
daughters, live God’s love on earth?
If you could unwrap
only one gift for the whole
world, what would it be?
~
My gift for the world
must remain encased, always,
safe inside Pandora’s Jar!
In this festive time,
What message would you send to
Those few souls who find no joy?
~
The message brought to
us on that first Christmas Day
was love unconditional.
What’s with all these twelves –
days of Christmas, number of
apostles, months in a year?
~
Busy taking steps!
But twelve is significant
Here too, I gather.
Would Rudolph enjoy
their green-eyed jealousy
if his belly weren’t yellow?
~
Hmm – red, yellow, green –
stop, go, and in between – some
subliminal message here?
