As we transition from one year into another, I wanted to share the words by Andrea Gibson who sadly died in 2025.

I can’t remember how I first came across their magical words on Instagram, but Andrea was / is an incredible poet. Some people have even called them “the Rumi of the 21st Century”. Either way, this human being have an incredible way of putting words together in a sequence that they can touch something inside, and about the human experince.

Hopefully by the time you read this, I have had the opportunity to watch they documentary about them and their journey togehter with their partner Megan Falley. It is called “Come see me in the Good Light”. This is the song from the documentary which is also incredible.,

Say Yes - By Andrea Gibson

this is for you…

this is for the no becoming yes

for scars becoming breath

for saying i love you to people who will never say it to us

for scraping away the rust and remembering how to shine

for the dime you gave away when you didn’t have a penny

for the many beautiful things we do

for every song we ever sung

for refusing to believe in mircales

for miracles are the impossible coming true

and everything is possible
