Bonfire Magic
My wishes for us all,
not for the new year,
but for every moment to come.
That we not just wish to be better.
But celebrate who we are
already
and are becoming,
in this very moment.
With all the frayed edges
and broken corners
of our being.
That we surround ourselves
with people
with whom we find softness
when life feels hard
a smile in the chaos
a gentle hug in the hurt.
And that we take all of it...
All that ever hurt us,
last year
the years
and maybe even lives before that.
All that crushed us
broke us
burned us.
And that we build a bonfire with it.
That we then take all of it...
All the strength we needed
again and again.
To pull ourselves back up.
To put ourselves back together.
All these little pieces of power
into one.
And that we make magic
from the golden ashes
from the bonfire
of our being.
Thank You Arjan! And for you too.
A beautiful wish. Keep growing.
Gelukkig nieuwjaar, Manon.
