A Toast

For things beautiful, lovely, and bright

For sacred moments of laughter, sharing, and healing

For freedom of movement, of dance, and song

For the vulnerability to care and the courage to reflect

I am grateful

To the disappointments, pain, and sorrow

To the moments of anger, loneliness, and despair

To all mistakes, wrongs endured, and fears ensued

I take my leave

For immanuel, God with us

and God with us still.

Here’s to a new year

For good, amidst bad, in hope
