Dear 2014,

Let us shine this year.  Never alone, but in a field of lights that support and don’t judge and don’t compete for space that is infinite. Let us create not a perfect circle, manufactured and measured, but one that is singular, gauzy at the edges and lopsided, built from childlike inspiration. Let us flare with laughter, let us streak through the sky with original gestures. Let us glow with all of who we are.  Let us be seen and enjoyed and remarked upon. Let us not burn out.

Very sincerely,

Writers
