A wish for you in these beginning days of 2020…
ON THIS DAY
“May you fall madly in love this year ..
In love with someone
Who unhinges your tired trajectory
In love with a spouse of several years
Who might be aching for lightning
In love with demanding children
And crazy relatives ..
In love with the particular pedigree
Of genius insanity
That has perhaps claimed you
In spite of your reluctance ..
And certainly in love with an animal
A cloud, a redwood,
The wild ..
.. These at least once a day.
May you fall in love
With this fragile jewel of a world
With hard work
Real learning
Real causes
Petitioning
And prayers.
May you fall in love
With wonder itself
With the grand mystery
With all that feeds you
In order that you may live ..
And with the responsibility
That that confers.
May you fall in love
With heartbreak
And seeing how it’s stitched
Into everything.
May you fall in love
With the natural order of things
And with tears
Tenderness
And humility.
May this be
A Magnificent year for you.
May you fall deeply
Madly
Hopelessly
Inextinguishably
In Love.”
