After Christmas, Blessings

When we are finally a people of the land, we will know how to speak and what words to use. Until then, let’s celebrate those who live this life already.

The ones who will keep right on speaking, generation after generation.

The ones who make their beds every night in the snow. When we finally live as creatures of this land, we will know how to speak the complex ideas that fascinate us.

We will not feel compelled to celebrate abundance while fencing it off from people to increase its monetary value.

We will know what value is.

It will be revealed all around us.

We will simply walk into it.

We will simply row ourselves across the sky.

We won’t say bird anymore. Or pie. We will say, Oh,…

… there I am.

Blessed be.
