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
