As I pondered what theme I would adopt for my hiker oasis in 2021 in the waning days of December 2020, I decided to deviate from my usual pattern of using the theme to celebrate something that would happen in that upcoming year and opted instead to use this opportunity to reflect on the year just passed. For many, 2020 was a monumental year, and I thought a suggestion to consider something positive that may have come to them during that year would be appreciated. I penned a new poem for the new year, and added it to my little free library for hikers to take. Here it is.
