Editor:
New Year, the tender shoot springs forth out of our rich earth to grow.
Pure potential strong and straight with true intention it uncurls.
We rejoice in its new life ready with water and light.
Will it survive the attacks from climate?
Or nationalistic challenge?
We make sacred this new year just like we do for family, friends and all those in need of that sacredness.
We recognize the Uighurs, the Gazans, the Ukrainians, the journalists, those under attack and those trudging in long lines seeking safety and survival.
Democracy and the rule of law are under foot; be mindful of their fragility.
Our new year is tender; our new year is innocent.
Mind your feet and do not step on it.
Protect it as it sends down roots into the rich soil of past achievement and old life from which our prosperity flows.
Enrich our dreams of growth, so that this new year becomes bountiful, providing what we all need to savor our life here on our beautiful Earth.
