celebration means what we make it
Connivance turns an eye, more blind than benign, until the party is crashed by Columbus. Pilgrims behind.
Or Xmas imposed by revisionist pattern, in celebratory defiance of Romans hailing Saturn.
The truth, and there is one about public celebration: it’s revelry over relevance, regardless the occasion.
Memories invented cash register success, so outdo yourselves annually: make this season best.
Or recall the simplicity of a birth or of vows, or anniversary of bravery by those not around.
Sew your own rituals from patches of meaning. Extinguish connivance with a heartfelt beginning.
