What a wonderful poem! It is definitely deserving to be reread each year, to set the dipper in motion and think of all the sweet things in life.

Oh yes, the sweet things in life -- there no matter what, if we know where to look.

The dipper in the sky is such a lovely metaphor! The abundance that doesn’t empty or deplete. The generosity toward all creatures and the earth itself. Thanks for sharing this— from your own generous impulses. I’ll think of it as I look at the night sky on New Year’s Eve.

Such a masterful way to remind us all, that, when we feel lost, there are so many ways we can look, to be found…

Yes to that looking, to that being found.
