History embeds the arrival of the new year
within the season of Christmas
(day eight, to be exact),
which means we scan 2014's possibilities
from this perspective:
    the holy is among us,
    humanity and divinity have melded,
    and each of us,
    just by virtue of being,
    is a hybrid of heaven.

Your incarceration
now yields to
your incarnation.

It's only day nine,
so celebrate on!
