Play More In 2004
What do I say on this last day of 2003? It's the end of a crazy year. We can all look back on so many things and be glad we didn't know they were coming, because we would have been too afraid to deal with them ahead of time. I guess that's what worry is, when you think about it--piling up troubles ahead of time. But now it's time to pile up new challenges and new starts for a new year.
Oh, the possibilities,
Readied in piles
Like Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs.
Friends showed me how to connect them.
Now we'll build warm, intricate days.
Play is work to some,
But I know play is oxygen,
Filling lungs with life,
Running through blood vessels,
Pumping joy through the heart,
Taking the mind
Right up
To God's playroom where creation is
The very heart and hearth of Heaven.
Happy New Year!
