The planet crosses a stretch
As inconsequential as the rest
The birds, the fish, the mammals and insects
Wander not far from their cozy nest
While us, wherever we are in the world
Celebrate to our level best
As the thin thread spun with love
Undergoes its annual test
Isn't it beautiful, like words in a sentence
How our existence bears meaning only in context?
I hope this year brings motion, from which naturally originates balance
Slow down but don't stop
Or be a leaf on water, that floats without effort
Or gets thrown around in the storm and still isn't torn apart
I hope you feel all that is human, and yet as if you are watching the movie of your own life
Happy new year!
