A Call to Action
make something new, / orate freshly,
Hi everyone,
Happy New Year!
The end of 2022 served as a bit of a reset. Among all the loss and illness, there was also new life. The holidays were filled with family gatherings the likes of which we haven’t had in three years. And a major project came to fruition: the magazine Symphony now has a beautiful online presence at symphony.org.
I still have times when I feel muted, but I am finding my voice again, finding things to look forward to.
Wishing you a year full of love, friendship, health, and creativity,
Rachel

A Call to Action
make something new,
orate freshly,
resist the
nagging
inner drive to retreat.
notice the color of the sunlight and
grasp it, channel it.

Thank you for sharing your insight and continuing to use your voice. You're a blessing.
Like a flower awekening in spring. That's how this poem feels to me. Hope it will be for you, and for a long while.
