If 2008 were a fruit
may it be savory, ripe and juicy
If it were a tree
may it branch in exciting new directions
If it were a sunrise
may it be as warm as it will be radiant
If it were a garden
may it sprout unexpected hybrid delights
If it were an animal
may it be both fierce protector and gentle companion
If it were a building
may it contain the solid foundation from which you structure
If it were a warrior
may it guard your dreams and boldly assert your truth
If it were a lover
may it love and hug you into Being
If it were royalty
may it adorn you with the finest, most vibrant threads of Life
If it were a weaver
may it weave the fabric of your most sacred vision into fruition
If it were an alchemist
may it transform your shadows into expressed voice
If it were a friend
may it be your best and most true
If it were a teacher
may its lessons be those of aliveness
If it were a storyteller
may it tell a hero's tale
If it were an improviser
may it yes-and your wildest hopes
If it were a comedian
may it keep you laughing
If it were a party
may it be of the surprise kind
If it were a drum
may it beat to your natural rhythm
If it were a dance
may it move you in ways you forgot you could move
If it were a musician
may it play a harmonious and ever-diverse mix
If it were a song
may its melody resonate the heavens
If it were a word
may it be the loudest Yes ever spoken
And if 2008 were raw creativity
may it be YOURS
...full, whole and completely unabashed!
Happy New Year!
Warmly,
Michelle
