For me, the day after Christmas is the beginning of the New Year.  It sparkles with new light, the light of possibility and beckoning what comes, or maybe not beckoning simply allowing the grace of embrace.

John Lewis is a light for this morning.  

And if you follow your truth down the road to peace and the affirmation of love, if you shine like a beacon for all to see, then the poetry of all the great dreamers and philosophers is yours to manifest in a nation, a world community, and a Beloved Community that is finally at peace with itself.
