#61 | Bread and Bones

<description>&lt;p&gt;When midnight comes, I will not run&lt;br /&gt;Into the arms of my regrets,&lt;br /&gt;Nor will I fear the pain of wounds&lt;br /&gt;That have not scathed me yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will stand upon the border&lt;br /&gt;Of this year and the next,&lt;br /&gt;And say farewell with open hands&lt;br /&gt;And a whispered thankfulness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When midnight comes, I will not tie&lt;br /&gt;A burden round my neck,&lt;br /&gt;Nor weigh down my soul with resolutions&lt;br /&gt;To validate my breath.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead, I’ll bless this new beginning&lt;br /&gt;And who I am becoming,&lt;br /&gt;For we are works of art unfinished—&lt;br /&gt;A living canvas full of colors&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.patreon.com/joshualukesmith_" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;⁠⁠⁠Help support and sustain the podcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The episode music is by "&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/weareheirmusic" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;⁠⁠⁠&lt;strong&gt;Heir&lt;/strong&gt;⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;" &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠open.spotify.com/album/4WtMubT7nIiF2aMtiiJKLP?si=tU4LmPSnSUee4jXvfJ7oxg⁠⁠£#" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;⁠⁠⁠Stream the latest album⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

When midnight comes, I will not run Into the arms of my regrets, Nor will I fear the pain of wounds That have not scathed me yet.I will stand upon the border Of this year and the next, And say farewell with open hands And a whispered thankfulness.When midnight comes, I will not tie A burden round my neck, Nor weigh down my soul with resolutions To validate my breath.Instead, I’ll bless this new beginning And who I am becoming, For we are works of art unfinished— A living canvas full of colors <a href="https://www.patreon.com/joshualukesmith_" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠Help support and sustain the podcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠</a>The episode music is by "<a href="https://www.instagram.com/weareheirmusic" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠Heir⁠⁠⁠</a>" <a href="⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠open.spotify.com/album/4WtMubT7nIiF2aMtiiJKLP?si=tU4LmPSnSUee4jXvfJ7oxg⁠⁠£#" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠Stream the latest album⁠⁠⁠</a>
