I think this year is a good time to stop waiting for the rescue squad…
To learn how to unclench our hearts …
How to no longer be what others want us to be…
After all, why would we want to be their prisoners?

Let’s make a choice to stop living like that…
It makes it difficult for us to see the colors necessary to paint and to write…
And puts us in a place with so many bolts and keys…
Like a waterfall in reverse.

Instead let’s lose ourselves in a language before words…
You know, the place where the bumblebees rumble…
Dance in the silky ripples of shade…
Into one glowy heaven.

Let’s remove the phrase, “I only have a moment…”
It’s got no business here…
Instead let’s unwrap a genuine smile…
And sit down for a cup of tea.

Here, we can bathe in the Rays of Her rays…
Soak in the beams of Her beams…
Fall like a foamy waterfall…
Into the arms of those we love.

Happy 2025!

I love you,

Annie
