Go gently


 Go gently


Let us enter the new year with curiosity

Curiosity that insists that we listen attentively

to hear another’s story

for each story matters

and uniquely contributes to the whole


Let us enter the new year with compassion

Compassion that enables us to care for self and others

embracing our shared humanity with compassion

that brings insight and affords space to care


Let us enter the new year with courage

Courage that enables us to be honest in our vulnerability

acknowledging the weariness and fear that often lurks

beneath our facade of strength


Curiousity, Compassion, Courage

Companions that will accompany us gently

into a new year

  4. To borrow from Dylan Thomas, we can go gently into God’s good Light instead of raging. Thank you for this, Liz’
