In 2012, soon after I started this blog, I did a 12-days-of-Christmas series.

Wild Geese
- Mary OliverYou do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.Read the whole poem, here.

A thrill of hope. A ray of light in the gloom. A willingness to risk failure against the possibility of something good and deeply rewarding happening. Messages of hope during Advent have opened me to risks. Some I find most difficult are the risks of offending someone. How often do I second-guess what a person’s reaction might be to something I say or do? We can self-censor ourselves into oblivion. May we all open our hearts and minds to new possibilities in our challenging New Years.
Laurna – May it be so.
