What did you believe in this year?
::
i believe
in smiles and broken hearts
in dancing in the moon circus
in hope
in today
in walking the path less traveled
in forgiveness
that i know nothing
in love
in summer and tomatoes
in silence
that mountains make me whole
in death
that my garden feeds my soul
that writing feeds my soul
that not all empty spaces are meant to be filled
in looking to the sky
that someday i will soar
there is never enough, there is always too much
normal is just a notion
kindness is the cornerstone of love
you have to pay attention
i prefer questions to answers
in pushing the limits
hemingway is still my favorite writer
hugs are free and also invaluable
life is not supposed to be easy, it’s supposed to be lived
i need to stand up and be counted
i occasionally suffer from wiggly spirit
i am surrounded by heroes
that i will always miss george
i will never love mirrors
love doesn’t have to be perfect to survive
my parents are the best
there is both more and less time than you think
i’m a romantic at heart, an idealist by nature
and a purist by design
except sometimes i’m not any of those things
and sometimes i am their opposites
some days are red, some days are blue
and
i believe that being alive is a gift
i believe that being grateful for every breath you take
is the only way to say thank you
i believe in so much and so little, all at once.

When you publish your 2011 Year of Posts, this could be your table of contents. Beautiful, concise, and worth working on in 2012.
P.S. After writing this comment, I saw the last line.

There is so much wisdom in you.
There is both more and less time than you think…this one made me pause.
