God,
I am praying for a boring year
after
Wars on Terror
Great Recessions
Housing Collapse
A Pandemic
And those were only
the large scale events
I pray for an uneventful new year
with uninteresting times
and very precedented events
I pray for peace
in your personal life
your home
your town
and city
and country
I hope that thing seem corny
and maybe not normal (because what is that anyway)
but ordinary enough
that pieces of trust
can be built up again
I pray that this year does not feel like a bludgeon
but comes in like a lamb
and out like a lamb
I pray that there are moments of rest
spaces of sanctuary
places of healing
and times of rebuilding
I pray for a prededented year
full of laughter at jokes
you may have already heard
smiles with friends
you have time to see
and book and shows
you feel comfortable enough
to revisit, with glee
I pray for comfort
for safety in the known
for rituals that you love–
your favorite haunts
your tastiest meals
your places to just be
I hope you are able to
repeat yourself without fear
But most of all
I pray that you have
an uneventful
New Year
Amen.
