Recipe for the Year that Was the Year

Ingredients:

Open mind

Willing heart

New eyes

A blank sheet of paper

Directions:

In the silence,

release.

Drop the dying year like a shawl.

Empty the kitchen drawer to

allow space,

an opening,

a tender knowing.

Open the door and let the

tears and laughter in

at the same time.

Drop from your head

to your heart and

see with eyes of wonder,

humility, and gratitude.

Return to this recipe daily.

You will never be finished.

I like how you combined separate prompts in the same poem! And a great recipe. Lots of opening and dropping (like cracking an egg!).
