Happy New Year Poets of Prose

"There are years that ask questions

and years that answer."

-Zola Neale Hurston

The last couple of years have been more of the former for me. Lots of questions, transitions, and

internal shifts, a little short on the answers and clarity. As I reflect on this I realize that one problem is I keep trying to manufacture my own answers. If I have any resolutions, one is to be more patient, with myself, with the Universe, with God's plans. Instead of grubbily grabbing for my own solutions I want to open up spaces in my heart for answers to be given to me.

Gifts are so much more fun! Prose is one such gift for me! What am I even doing here? Well, about three days after I joined the twenty first century by finally getting an IPhone, my dear friend grabbed it and said, "You like to write, here is this App called Prose." I think it was her sweet way of saying, "You need to get out more."

Anyway it has been an unexpected gift. Before, I shared my writing with almost no one and I expected no one to take notice of my God ramblings. You have been gracious and kind. In return, I have been amazed and moved by the writing posted here. I have my favorites it is true. Besides enjoying his poetry I like @CRaMcGuirt because he first got all up in my grill about posting someone else's poem but then liked

some of my stuff. Besides, who can resist a Drunk Poet??? I am always waiting to see what wild thing @JW1GGYTHELOON will say and I love the way his writing flows. And let's face it @Yowwa is a rock star! So many more beautiful souls! What a great community! Ah but the limitations of this kind of thing...I just wish we could meet at a warm pub somewhere, at a big round table, have a few beers and share writing.

So Happy New Year to the Poets of Prose, you enriched my life this last year, I am grateful and I wish you all the best!

Grace, Love, Light and Peace,

Gracenote
