THE SEASON



It only means something if you have a warm place to lay your head
It only means something if you are no longer numb
It only means something if there is someone
It only means something if that someone means something
It only means something if you're not holding a grudge
It only means something if you can swallow your pride
It only means something if you see you're not the only one who's been hurt
It only means something if you can stop pointing fingers
It only means something if you can finish a sentence without "Yeah... BUT"
It only means something if you don't have to be right
It only means something if you grasp that  we won't get this moment back
It only means something if you meet each other half way
It only means something if you do this before it all passes you by again

It only means something if you open that door

  8. Nicely done, a chant with both the "it" and the "something" so full that we needed you to unpack them in this powerful way.

  10. "It only means something if: you open that door."
    ...with a smile, that door, is the entry to and the essence of tomorrow.

    Best Christmas, Tim!
