Hope arises from the network of relationships we have.  And my wish for each and everyone is that we can rest in that web of connection.  More specifically, the words of James Curtis return to me every year at Christmas:

I wish for you, all around you,
People who love easily and forgive quickly;
Whose eyes are stars when you are night;
Whose voice are trumpets when you are silence
I wish for you
People about you who are gifts in themselves
And whose presence in your life
Is an all-year-round present.

This is my wish for you in this time of dark and chill, as we wait together for the light to return.
