time to look forward peeps...

i love this time of year.

no matter what situation my life is at, at any given year, at any given heart break, at any given job and arse-hole boss, at any given family crisis, when December rolls on up and then starts to speed on by, i feel it.
the promise of Christmas. the magic of possibilities. of dreams come true and all the world at peace.

the time to just stop and be with those you cherish. the ability to take a break as everyone should be on holidays. the excitement of travel for pure pleasure. the presents you can buy with such careful consideration and flamboyant recklessness. the trimming and wrapping that disguise your surprises.

but mostly it is the soft whispering that this could be it. that the magic of this season followed by the fresh start of a spanking new year might just bring with it the faerie-winged change that you have been waiting for with an unconscious bated breath of reckoning.

i wish for all, friend and enemy alike, the possibility of taking back the one truly evil deed that you have done and the blessing of being able to just put things right.

i pray that you get the chance to "pay it forward". to pass on an act of complete random kindness with no agenda and no expected payback, to a perfect stranger in dire need. and with it i pray you receive the power of realization as your kind act continues to ripple and flourish and we collectively break down barriers and spread pure joy with our human hearts and hands touching those that really needed the help. i wish you the positive karma to be able to pull back just one soul from the edge of nothingness.

i yearn for 2010 to be the year we put our backs to violence. globally. individually. as a community. i yearn for peace in my heart.
i pray for all the animals, big and small, pets and otherwise, to be treated humanely and with the deepest love and respect come January 1st, 2010, for as long as the last human shall live.
i wish for the end of sickness, and of famine, of financial crises and of bad leaders.
and most of all, i wish for my one true love. the enduring kind that doesn't dissipate with the last drops of the perfume bottle one gets at the start of an ill-fated romance. amen.
