As full moon lights the sky,
Gháájí’, the Navajo New Year is celebrated.
A chance for all of us five-fingered people to breathe deep
give thanks
renew vows to self
life
each other
Leaves brighten to hues not seen since 2019
Melons, squash, apples reaching maturity after months of growing pains
Mornings crisp with scents of green chile wafting olfactory goodness our way.
Cinnamon, pumpkin and other flavors soon to come.
What do you want the new year to look like?
What do you want the new you to look like?
What do you need to leave behind in the year that was?
What must be cultivated in the year to come?
Beyond the seeds themselves,
How will you water and fertilize and nurture those seeds you plant?
Where do you want to start?
Take some time this weekend to breathe it all in, get out the Crayolas, canvas, journal, etc. and begin to draw yourself into a new year, into a new you.
