Day 326

so it ends
.
cold
super moon comes
full
in just a few days
i felt her presence pressing my soul
to spill
into the gray damp air
it is December
at long last
another year spent

I have tread lightly of late around the chaos. You could call it self-care. Or not. Perhaps it is more like self preservation. One can move from disbelief, outrage, and despair to disbelief, outrage, and despair for only so long before the weight of it crashes down around you. 

I have clung to every glimmer over these past 326 days. I knew when this year began it would be bad, but I could not have imagined the depth and breadth of our leaders’ capacity for hate and cruelty, for the destruction of our nation’s treasured ideals, institutions, and global good will. 

It has been stunning to witness. Out has been a long year. With 3 more years of this to go, I will draw strength from the glimmers of 2025. I will continue to track each days’ glimmers as if my life depends on it. My hope is in recognizing each spark, is that eventually the light will outshine the darkness, the truth will be revealed, and justice will finally be served. 

There are glimmers yet to be celebrated …29 to be exact…each one brighter than the day before. May this season of light fill you with hope and joy. May we remember to be kind. May we remember who we are. 

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you.
