Dear Pneuma,

My Christmas List:

1. I want an end to the loneliness and disassociation that leads some young men to kill themselves and others.
2. I want to see the development of domestic and global politics based on a foundation of the power of kindness and care.
3. I want to see my brother's family engage in their grief.
4. I want my first family let go of pride and hardness long enough to simply ask for what we want of each other.
5. I want to find an ethos of giving in myself.
6. I want all of us to be brave enough to state the things we believe, humble enough to apologize for the wrongs we've done, and kind enough to forgive one another.
7. I want my friends to find mates worthy of them.
8. I want to celebrate in joy the actual gift of life with my Beloved here, now, in this time and in this place.

What do you want for Christmas?
