A poem for you by e.e. cummings – i thank you God for most this amazing
i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
May the blessings of a sunrise offer generative energies for new beginnings. May the love and service of our community touch those in need and desire. And, too, may each of us experience a Happy and Soulful New Year.
with warm feeling,
Steve

Why did you stop dancing?
Why did you stop drumming?
Why did you stop writing?
Why did you stop singing?
Why did you stop loving?
Why did you stop believing?
Why did you stop feeling?
Why did you stop dreaming?
Get back to your passion. Allow passion to take you from where you are to are, to the world of spiritual fulfillment where you rightfully belong.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And the days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
And surely you will buy your cup
And surely I’ll buy mine!
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun till night
The seas between us Lord and swell
Since the days of auld lang syne
For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For the sake of auld lang syne?
For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
In the days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne
We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne

I want to share with you a poem that I spoke into the recent Winter Solstice Myth Salon.
For some reason, tonight as I was listening to it again, I thought of you.
I hope you’ll enjoy it as a moment of sharing the new year that is about to come forth.
Wishing you well,
Dana
