Holiday Wishes

Everywhere i go, everywhere i look, i see hope. People gather to sing carols on the street, just for the benefit of the passerby. Friends send packages, cards, wishes of good tidings. The choir sings songs in the traditional style, wishing us all well. Friends cook together and share stories. People, it seems, care about each other and our common good health. Thank you to all of you, for serving as my inspiration and for envisioning a better world. We make the world we want to live in, and i see a world of random acts of kindness and senseless beauty all around me. Thank you for your part in this. May we continue to advocate, agitate, champion, create, fight, innovate, maverick, make peace, pioneer, provocate, revolutionize, subvert, trailblaze, envision, and make change.

Blessed are Ye - Beatitudes
Blessed are the poor in spirit/For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are they that mourn/For they shall be comforted
Blessed are the meek and lonely/For they shall inherit the earth
Blessed are they who are hungry and thirsty, seekers of the righteousness/They shall be filled
Blessed are the merciful/For they shall obtain mercy
Blessed are the poor in heart/They shall see god
Blessed are the peacemakers/For they shall be called the children of god
Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake/Theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are ye
