new year's eve

“My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,
    and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
when I think of you on my bed,
    and meditate on you in the watches of the night”  Psalm 63:5-6

as we celebrate

the end of another year,

may we nibble on hope’s bread,

drink deeply of life’s water,

dance the Spirit’s steps,

and sing as we watch

peace and justice embrace

and grace drifts gently down

to journey with us

in the coming days
