meaningful

this christmas is really different
from the previous christmas years

no party organizing
no present buying
no big gatherings
no snow
no christmas tree
no cold weather
no christmas music playing

i began to think about chrismas a different way
to all those celebrating
there are many others
who don't
who can't
who won't

no invitations
no presents
nobody to give to

then what happens

what about doing something meaningful
what about talking about something worth your time
since returning to toronto
i've felt strongly
that it isn't about what we have
or how much of it
or who has this and who doesn't

i'll come back to this...
