Where there was something and suddenly isn’t,
an absence shouts, celebrates, leaves a space.
I begin again with the smallest numbers.

—Naomi Shihab Nye, “Burning the Old Year”

In this gathering, we listened and contemplated the poem "Burning the Old Year" by Naomi Shihab Nye. The Hive’s Executive Director Chris La Rue opened our session with a visualization meditation and poetry-therapist Michelle Bee led our exploration of the poem.
