[Winter Break] Powers that Remain

Written By Trevor Allred

A Note for 2024

Today, I find myself needing more time. I am tired and happy for the new year. It is my favorite holiday because I cannot think of anything more profound than humans collectively celebrating time. 

I am still arriving to today, and I share with you a simple note while I finish arriving for this new year. 

This letter series, A Serious Thing, takes its name from the words of a favorite poet, Mary Oliver, and is now a year older.

“Counting, This New Year’s Morning, What Powers Yet Remain to Me”

In the spirit of that poem, I want you to know this poem next: “Counting, This New Year’s Morning, What Powers Yet Remain to Me” by Jane Hirshfield. You can listen to it here. You can read it here.

I will write to you again next week, a full letter. 

More soon,

Trevor
