“There are some things you can do forever. Given a deep enough shaft, you can fall forever. You can forget forever, and disintegrate forever, and you can laugh for a very long time. But you cannot bleed for long—not you, not citruses, not twites or treepies, not orangequits or plushcaps or jewel-babblers, nor any creature whose vessels flutter with warm, swirling, cell-bearing plasma. Either your leak will mend or you will become void.

Only love can bleed forever; only love has endless blood. Only love’s slender drooping tassels can bleed yet grow stronger, bleed yet grow brighter; redder, redder, never spent, never phantasmal-gray. Maybe, if it only gets kicked, then love is love-lies-dented, and in a few days it replumps. But when it suffers a terrible wound, love seems able neither to heal—to grow substitute tissue over its damage—nor to run dry.”

Instead of resolutions, I looked back through my gratitude journal to remember all the bright moments that made up this year. There were so many more than I could record. What are you grateful for, right now? I’m grateful for you, reading this right now, wherever and whenever you are. Happy New Year to you and to all of us! May it be the best ever.
