RABBIT, RABBIT.

happy new year, neighbors.
today is the day.
the first one,
of the first month,
of a brand spanking new full-tilt full-circle revolution
around the brightest spot we've got,
while we spin ourselves around, balancing light and dark,
throughout the entirety of our trek.
spiraling overlapping concentric circles on circles on circles,
making echoes and ripples and rings that form patterns,
becoming a language that interconnects and links the neverending
true stories that unfold along the ley lines and lightning-strikes
of the secret universal plans.
yeah, man......that's a thing.
and today is the F*ing day, too.
i've got a new calendar up;
i've got my girls waking up soon;
i've got tea in my mug;
i've got things to do.
but,
before any of that,
i did the most important thing.
yuuuuuup.
you know it.
i cultivated the coincidences-
i nurtured the infinite nature-
me and the ladies watched movies to pass the time,
and when it got so close we couldn't really stand it?
we sat in silence, waiting for the clock to tick past yesterday;
and then we checked, and double-checked all of our timekeeping devices;
and then we waited, still silent, until another 'nother minute elapsed,
and then?
yep.
then we all said the magic flipping words.
loud, fresh, and hard-
our lips spit out the only sacred syllables that the woodsly goodness
has ever given half a sh!t about:
rabbit, rabbit!
that's what's up.
and i hope you guys knew enough to say it proudly,
first thing out your face when the midnight switched over,
and then again when you woke up to pee in the evening,
and then once more, when you finally got out of bed,
just for good measure.
we did, obvi-
because rules is rules,
and too much is the right amount.
c'mon.
me and my worthy warrior poet princesses,
these lovely little lightning-striking valkyrie vixens,
we make a point of relentlessly activating ALL
the percussive rebounding bouncy consonant B's,
and resonant rolling R's, as well as those tight taut T's.
the good fortune and the misfortune rely on speaking those syllables.
that's why we take a second to say it a couple time in a row.
what?
you were busy being drunk?
jeez!
c'mon.
what are you?
an A*-hole?
what an amateur-night cliche you've become.
i mean,
are you actually trying to be a bottom-rung boring bargain-basement
budget basic b!tchbag this year?
EW!
ummm,
i think we've found your resolution, and it's low.
hahahaha.
duders,
maybe in all the end-of-the-year confusion,
you've forgotten a little something?
like,
the simple and elegant fact that it's okay not to drink.
whatever, kids.
me and mine stayed expert all night,
and we said what we had to say, because we know how to stay dope.
as a matter of fact,
enjoy yourselves with a glimpse of how we doo-doo that freaky sh!t,
check the teleport:
that's affirmative.
if ever there was a family that represented hats and noisemakers,
it's us.
i'm jus sayin',
that's really sort of our thing every day,
just even more so when it's time to ring in the new hottness,
and discard, disregard, and disbar the old busted jauns.
uh-huh!
***********
so,
it's 2015 now-
and i think that's good news.
a whole clean clear slate of opportunities an' that,
a whole dozen doses of new and better times and places,
with bigger, burlier, hotter, smarter, more elite active participation.
it's all really happening,
starting today,
and it's the jump-off for a happier, healthier, more-productive parcel
of Folk Life & Liberty in the woodsly goodness.
it started with the rabbit, rabbit conjuration and invocation,
but it's about to spread to vocation and vocalization
throughout the days, weeks, and months ahead.
happy new year, friends;
never auld, never lang syne.....
